CoNFIDENTIAL.-We hear good story
Of a man who went to the frontier to see
friend. The family consisted of the 'lus-
baud, his wife, and two grown sons. The
good old lady was the only one of the fam
lily who did not take little of the go be
joyful" Sitting by the fire few minutes,
the old man tipped him wink, and the
visitor followed him out. Stopping by a
tree, he pulled out long necked bottle,
remarking, 81 have to keep it hid, for the
boys might get to drinking, and the cid
woman would raise the ID" They took
a drink and returned to the fireside. Soon
Tom, the elder son, asked the visitor out
to see colt, and taking him behind the
barn he pulled out flask remarking, 81
have to keep this hid or the old man will
get drunk, and the ID is to pay" and
they both took a drink and returned.-
Soon Bob stepped on the visitors toes and
walked off, the visitor following. AS they
reached the pig-pen Bob drew out good
sized bottle, remarking, " You know the
old man and Tom will get drunk, and l
have to hide this This visitor colcluded
he could not stand it to drink eonfidentially
With the whole family, and started for home.

popularity, and woven into those descrip-
tions innumerable passages of the most ex-
citing personal adventure. Yet, after such
prodigious excursions and such incessant
labors for the press-enough to have salts
fled the ambition and exhausted the ener-
gies of any man-his undated ardor for
knowledge turned at once into new direc-
ton. He projected work on the "Quad-
rupeds of America" ON the same imperial
scale with that on the birds. For this pur-
pose he began, in company with his sons,
Victor Clifford and John Woodhouse,-who
both inherited much of his talents as an
artist, as well as naturalist, the same
wide and unwearied wanderings which had
marked his previous pursuits. But the ap-
proach of old age-and he was now nearly
seventy-induced his friends to dissuade
him from the more toilsome and dangerous
expeditions which he thought necessary to
complete this scheme. A great deal of the
labor in respect to the writing was per-
formed for him by his excellent friend DR..
Bachman, of Charleston, S. c., and he was
largely assisted in the other departments
by his sons; yet before the grand work was
accomplished, his powers began to relax
He was taken i'll, and sank to rest gently,
says one who was present, as child sinks
to sweet, refreshing sleep. He was buried
in Trinity cemetery, adjoining his latest
residence, where a monument, reared by
the gratitude and admiration of his coun-
trymen, ought to mark his final resting
place.
Audubon's chief claims to the remem-
brance of posterity will rest upon his une-
qualled achievements as practical natur-
alist but he deserves high place in liter
allure also, for the brilliant episodes of per-
sonal experience which enliven his letter
press illustrations. AS man, he was in
every way worthy the uniform love and re-
spect with which he was greeted by those
who knew him. In person he was tall and
slender, but sinewy and vigorous; the ex-
preston of his face was ever animated and
winning; his manners were extremely gen
tie; and his conversation full of life and
piquancy. He spoke always with light
French accent, acquired in his youth, but
his mastery of his native tongue was other
wise quite perfect. In his written style, he
was occasionally too diffuse and ambigu
Gus; but he is never obscure, never affected,
and never dull. An autobiography of this
eminent and original man, promised shortly
after his death, has not yet made its ap-
pearance; and until it does, the world will
not be able to appreciate all the difficulties,
the dangers, and the disappointments,
which pursued his life of solitary yet heroic
and useful endeavor.
Mr.. Audubon was a fellow of the Lin
naan and Geological societies of London,
of the Natural History Society of Paris, of
the Werneran Society of Edinburgh, of
the Lyceum of Natural History at New
York, and an honorary member of the
Society of Natural History at Manchester, of
the Royal Scottish Academy of Painting,
Sculpture, and Architecture, and Of many
other scientific bodies of less note.

resell OF REFUSING A KIss.-A few
weeks ago merchant Of Cincinnati was
married. In the second week of the honey
moon, business affairs called him to Louis
vile and st. Louis. He notified his wife
Of his intended departure, and she asked
him to kiss her goodby. He laughingly
replied he had not time to wait, intending
to return after transacting some business
near home. Unforeseen circumstances pre-
vented him from returning to see his wife.
He was gone about two weeks, and then
returned to Cincinnati to find his house
deserted, the furniture sold, and his wife
visiting her relatives. To make matters
moro intensely terrifying, he was notified
of his wife's application for a divorce, the
latter containing some seven or eight
charges. He Immediately sought her, and
had long interview, when it was ascer-
tanned that her only cause was jealousy and
his neglect to kiss her good-by. This
should serve as warning to all young
married husbands to kiss their wives before
going on a journey-provided the wife wants

Oh love is left in bygone years
Yet there has been no broken vow,
lYe' met of yere it's "you and r.
That sometimes meet each other now
A quite Indifferent lie and she
Though once enshrined in lovers "3re."
That time, It's now long, long ago
Its hopes, its joys all passed away:
On life's calm tide three bubbles glow,
And pleasure, youth and love are they.
Hope paints them bright as bright can be
Or did when you and Iwere re-
paradised some woodland cot
| built great "castles in the air
And pleasure was, and grief was not.
La cot or castle thou vert there
Yet it was not alone for thee,
For Fancy always whispered ",re."
The distant isles of future years
Clean brightly through the golden haze
Times sea a reflex heaven appears,
In which the stars are happy days:
AT least twas always so with me
When lovers y0u and l were ''are''
My life was all one web of gold,
Where thoughts of thee like gems were set:
But seon the light of love grew cold,
And gems and gliding faded yet
The gilt and 'paste' seemed true me,
But twas when y0u and Iwere loc."
Long, long ago, with life hope shone
These faded faRcies now they seem
Wild fragments of gladness gone
The memory of pleasant dream.
And Wonder whispers g Can it be
That ever you and were 're'?
