Brother Tom understood bis own position
entirely. He was not a man to stoop below
himself in marrying. He could not unite
himself with one who was ignorant and In
refined-against that his generously culti-
vated soul would have revolted. But he
wanted real, not an artificial woman-one
who could take her place beside him, as he
said on the lowest round of fortunes ladder.
and keep step with him upward. Such
one he had found in Harriet Parker, and he
was independent enough to make her his
wife.
Lizzie soon discovered, after her brother
Tom actually got married ard commenced
housekeeping in two rooms, with his modest
cheerful, earnest-minded wife, that her new
sister had about her something that insensi-
bly, won the love, commanded the respect
and almost extorted the admiration of all
who were so fortunate as to make her ac-
quaintance.
Marriage, they say makes or mars

Tom, He's got just the wife to help him

An hour, and had just become thoroughly

cautiously, ard addressed me in this singular
manner.
had that day chanced to fall in with an
elderly gentleman, (Mr, Leslie by uame } and
his daughter Gertrude, an interesting young
lady of nearly eighteen, and as our routes lay
IN the same direction, we were naturally
agreed to accompany each other.
We had stopped at the roadside inn. Our
accommodation was much more ample than I
had supposed possible from the external an
pearance of the dwelling, and much to our
satisfaction we were furnished with separate
rooms, though all in the low chamber at the
top of the house.
The apartment allotted to myself was
small one, furnished with handsome bed,
with heavy green curtains, light stand, and
couple of chairs. Everything was in per-
feet keeping and good order, but the bed was
placed against the door, greatly to my aston
ishment.
"What have you discovered 2" Iasked
hastily.
He gave me soiled piece of paper on which
were rudely inscribed these words:
"Jim saw three travellers coming over the
old road an hour ago. Probably they will be
at your house pretty soon after dark, and
you must manage to keep them to night
Don't try to settle them until I come, which
will be about midnight.

the course we had better pursue, and then

Editors Chicago Tribune:
There can be no doubt but that tie peo-

good President. No man who has ey-
er lived hos been the means Of doing more
good than has Mr.: Lincoln, and he will be
known through all ages as *' The Savior Of
bis Country" ard The Emancipator." Mr..
Lincoln was eminent,y "a man Of the peo-
ple:" he Fose from obseprity to the highest
energy Of his character, and will thus be to
all ages the "Ereat exemplar' whom the
young shall be taught to emulate. As there
will be great diversity of opinions as to what
kind of monument shall be reared to his
memory, beg TO propose that it he a "N Ma
children Of loyal soldiers who have fallen in
the service Of their country shall be reared

have an army 6nd navy, such an asylum
will always be needed. It seems to me that

American who will not contribute Of his
means to such cause. There is another
light in which such an asylum would be
viewed. It would be monument for every
soldier who has fallen, and,it would be By no
means impractIcable to 1nscribe upon its
