The Little Ouakeress.

An amusing matrimonial story is told
OF the olden time in New England. 1t
so fell out that young couple became
very much smitten with each other-as
young people do. The young woman's
father was wealthy Quaker the young
man was respectable. The father could
stand no such union, and absolutely OPP
posed it, and the daughter dare not dis
obey-that is to say, she dare not dis
obey openly. She "met him by moon
light" while she pretended never to
see him and she pinned and wasted in
spite of herself. She was really in love
"a state of signs and tears which woss
men oftener reach i'll Imagination than
reality. Still the father remained in
exorable.
Time passed on, and the rose on Ma
rvs damask cheek passed off She let
concealment, like worm in the bud,
prey on that damask cheek, however,
but when her father asked her why she
pinned, she always told him. The old
man was a widower, and loved his
daughter dearly Had it been wild
owed mother vino had Mary in charge,
woman's pride would never have Civ
en- away before the opportunities of a
daughter. Men are not, however, stub
born in such matters, and when the
father saw that his daughters heart was
really set upon the match, he surprised
her one day by breathing out:
"Mary, better than NOPE to death,
thee had better marry as soon as thee
chooses, and whom thee pleases."
And then what did Mary Wait till
the birds in the air told her swain of the
change, or until her father had time to
alter his mind again Nota bit OF it,
She clapped her neat, plain bonnet on
her head, walked as directly to the house
of her intended as the street would
carry her. She walked into the house
without knocking--for knocking was
not then fashionable, and she found the
family just sitting down to dinner
Some little commotion was exhibited at
the heiress IN the widows cottage, bat
she needed It not. John looked up en-
quiringly. She walked directly up to
him, and took both his hapds in hers.
"John," said she, g father says 7 may
have thee"
And John got directly up from the
dinner table, and went to the parsons.
In just twenty-five minutes they were
man and wife,

Washington klIston.

Soon after Allston's marriage with his
first wife, the sister of the late Doctor
Charming, he made his second visit to
Europe. After residence there of lit
tie more than year, his pecuniary
wants became very pressing and urgent
more SO than at any other period of
his life. On one of these occasions, as
he himself used to narrate the event, he
was in his studio, rejecting with feel
ing of almost desperation upon his con-
difiop, His conscience seemed to tell
him he had deserved his Affections, and
drawn them upon himself, by his want
of due gratitude for past favors from
Heaven. His heart, all at once, seemed
filed with the hope that God would lis
ten to his prayers, il he would offer up
his direct expressions of penitence, and
ask for divine aid. He accordingly lock-
ed his door, Withdrew to a corner of the
room, threw himself upon his knees, and
prayed for loaf of bread for himself
and his wife. While thus employed, a
knock was heard at the door. A feel
ing of momentary shame 1T being de-
tected in this position, and a feeling of
fear lest he might have been observed,
induced him to hasten and open the
door. A stranger inquired for Mr. Ais
ton. He was anxious to learn who was
the fortunate purchaser of the painting
of Angel Uriel, regarded by the artist
as one of his masterpieces, and which
had won the prize at the exhibition OF
the Academy. He was told it had not
been sold;

A modest young country girl, on ap-
plying for rations to one Of our relief
agents, a few days ago, was asked if she
had ever taken the oath. mo indeed,
sirp' was her her terrified reply; 81
never swore in all my life." ''But you

the agent, or I can not give you the ra-
TONS" .'No, indeed, cant, sir, said
the girl; t'mother always taught me ne
yer to swear" The agent mildly per-
sisted, and the maiden as pertinacious-
ly refused all attempts at persuasion,
until, overcome at last by the dreadful
conflict between necessity and the high
sense of moral duty, she stammered
out, with doWncast lids, "Weli sir, il

wicked thing, damn the Yankees"

Mn. LIScoLN's STORY TO THE REBEL
COMMONWEALTH. F. b. Carpenter, in
some recent "reminiscences OF President Lin
coin, relates the following
"Among bis stories freshest in my mind,
one which he related to me shortly after its
occurrence, belongs to the history Of the ia.
mous interview on board the River Queen OF
Hampton roads, between himself and Secre-
tary Seward aud the rebel Peace Commission
ers. Being in Washington few days sub.
sequent to the interview with the Commissions
ers (my previous journ there having termi-
mated about the List OF last Augusta | asked
MIR. Lincoln one day ''f it was true that be
told Stephens, Hunter and Campbell story
Why, yes he replied, manifestiDg some
surprise but has it leaked out, | was in
hopes nothing would be said about it, lest
some over sensitive people should imagine
there was degree of leyity in the intercourse
between u.s.
He then went on to relate the circumstsn-
ces which called it out. You see, said he,
we had reached and were discussing the
slavery question. Mr.. Stephens said, substan-
TALLY, that the slaves, always accustomed to
an overseer, and to work upon compulsion,
suddenly freed, as they would be if the South
should consent TO peace on the basis Of the
Emancipation Proclamation, would precipi-
tate not only themselves but the entire South
ern society into irremediAbe ruin. No work
would be done, nothing would be cultivated,
and both blacks and whites would starve -
Said the President, " | waited for Seward to
answer that argument, but as he was silent,
at length said Mr.. Stephens, you ought to
know great deal better about this matter
than l, for you have always lived uuder the
slave system. ! Gao only say in reply to your
statement OF the case hat it reminds me Of a
man out in Illinois by the name f Case, who
undertook, few years ago, to raise very
large herd Of hogs. 1t was great trouble to
feed them, and how to get around this was a
puzzle to him. AT length he hit on the plan
of planting an immense field of potatoes, and,
when they were sufficiently grown, he turned
the whole herd into the field, and let them
have full swing, thus saving not only the La
Dor Of feeding the hogs, but also that of dig
ging the potatoes. Charmed with his sagaei-
~, he stood one day leaning against the fence
counting his hogs, when a neighbor came
along. Well, WE'LL said he Mr.. Case, this
is all very fine. Your hogs are doing very
wei ust nO"i out lou hhOW OuI mere IN LII
inois the frost comes early, and the ground
freezes for foot deep. Then what are they
going to do This was a view Of the mat
ter MIR. Case had not taken into account
Butchering time for hogs was way on in Dec.
or Jan. he scratched his head, and at Length
stammerred, Well, it may come pretty hard
on their shouts, but don't see but that it
will be root hog or die - He did not tell
me that either Of the Commissioners made
any reply to this way OF putting things.
