a Sad Story Of the War.

The Boston Traveller gives from correspon-
dent, the following history of 9 grave in the
cemetery at Newbern, n. c.:
The soldier lying in that grave was reared
by kind parents in Hartford, and at the age of
2O-an honest, intelligent young mamie went
to New Haven. There he became acquainted
with young lady by the name of Fenin, who
came to visit her brother, then in college.
They became engaged to be married, and all
was sunshine In the path of life But the re-
6ellon came, and she returned to her home in
Harlem, to wait for his return from the war. to
which he was determined to go. Two years Of
correspondence and two furloughs cemented
their affection, until they felt that no earthly
obstacle could come between them and the lows
of life in store for them.
" But to the loving heart in Harlem there
one day came report that her betrothed was
killed. In wild suspense she waited for his
letters, but none came. Her father wrote to
| the Colonel and to the Chaplain Thev could
only say that he was missing With no though
u money, trouble, or care, the old ay-headed
father, whose daughter since the death of his
son, was his all, searched INCREASINGLY for some
clue to the missing one; even venturinR into
the enemy's lines. She, with that sublime for.
tltude which only woman can commend when
trouble comes. and with that devotion which
makes woman's love so pure, shared the

less it concerned her lover Finally his grave
was found in the woods near where the Tenth
once formed skirmish line, and a little head
board, bearing his name, carved in crooked
lines with penknife, marked his resting
place.
Word was sent to the mourners, and the
next conveyance brought them to the spot.
For while the daughter sat in the carriage
and would not get out, not daring to trust her
self within view of the spot where Law the dear

Senator Clark, OF New Hampshire, has COM
municated to the editor of the Portland Mel
Press several incidents illustrative of the ten
der heartedness of the lata Senator Fessenden.
At the time that the death of Senator FoOfe
was announced in the Senate, speeches express
i've of the public loss were made, among them
one of great beauty and pathos by Mr.. Fessen-
den. His sketch of the character and services
Of his lamented friend was 40 truthful, and his
tribute of fraternal affection so tenderly given,
that the Senate was deeply moved. Mr.. Fes-
sender took his seat, overcome with emotion,
and in the hush of the moment that followed
turned teartuly to his intimate friend Clark
behind him, and remarked, DO this for me
Dan, when I'm gone u 1t was beautiful cx-
hibition of the warm and yearning friendship
that ever burned in his heart toward all who
won his confidence aud love. An arrangement
Of feeling at this time existed between Clark
and Sumner. The influences of the hour were
favorable for mutual reconciliation. The for
mer was kindly entreated by his friend" Pitt"
as he always called him. The latter, too. was
found. They we're again introduced. CLARK,
this is Mr., Sumner" said the peace-m ,ker.
aud they once more grasped each other hands
in kindness. These and other simple reminis
cences Of Fessenden are very precious to those
who knew the mobility and disinterestedne-s OF
his character, and the sincerity Of his attach
ments.

after dinner. Toward the latter years Of his
life, however at the commencement of the dis
ease (diabetes) which finally termineted his ex-
istence, Mr.. Peabody was strictly forbidden

ted instead the first quality of claret. Indeed,

Without being 10 the slightest degree gour'

LOOKING BAcK.-The "eyeing" of women
by women is one OF the most offensive manifes-
tations OF superciiousness now to be met with.
Few observant persons can have failed TO no.
tice the manner in which one woman, who Is
not perfectly kind hearted, will eye over an
mother who she thinks is not in such good So
ciety, and, above all, not at the time being in
so costly a dress as she herself is in. Its done
everywhere, at parties, at church, and in the
street. 1t is done by women in all conditions
of life. The very servant girls learn it of their
mistresses. 1t is done in an instant. Who
cannot recall hundreds of instances of that
sweep OF the eye which takes in at glance the
whole woman and what she has on, from top
knot to shoe-toe? 1t cannot be a new fashion
of behavior but the daily increasing pretence
of people to superiority, because they can at
ford to spend more money on their backs than
others can, makes it at once more common and
more remarkable even than it was ten or fifteen
years ago. Men are never guilty of it, or with
such extreme rarity, and then in such feeble
and small-souled specimens Of their sex, that it
may be set down as a sin not maculine, or at
| least epicene. But women of sense, of some
breeding, and even of some kindness of nature,
will thus endeavor to assert a superiority upon
the meanest of all pretences, and inhict a wound
IN a manner the most cOwardly, because it can
not be resented and admits of no retort. II
they but only knew how unlovely, how positive
ly offensive, they make themselves in so doing
not only to the silent victim, but to every gen
erOus hearted man who observes their maneu.
vre, they would give up triumph at once SC
mean and cruel, which is obtained at such a
sacrifice on their part. No other evidence than
this eyeing is needed that woman who indulg
es in il, whatever be her birth or breeding, has
but small and vulgar soul-Fdany Fern.
