Two Newspaper Correspondents.

In the German camp before Metz, during
its recent siege, there were two English
newspaper correspondents whom we shall
call A and Il, each with his peculiar literary
gift. A had great graphic power, but it was
necessary for him to have seen what he de-
scribed. He, therefore, roughed it with the
poor soldiers; lay in the trenches, starved@
the outposts, and, on the whole, had yery
hard life of it out there. B was on the
other hand, an imaginative genius; it
not necessary for him to see the things that
he described, nor even to hear of them; he
evoked them out of his own consciousness
like the famous German philOsopher-ths
fellew countryman of those brave soldier
among whom B did not live. He lived att
hotel, remote from the trenches, and mud
and night work, and composed his commeR
taries upon the siege of Metz in first hOG
sitting room. 1t was necessary, he said, for
a historian to be, above all things, calm and
comfortable. News grew rare and action
slack. The Germans sat down 0utsids
Metz; the French within; they peered at one
another over parapets and ported each
others sentries lit was wonder that in
Metz they didn't eat potted sentryD but
nothing more.
The English public were getting eageriOr
stirring details; week had passed without
a sOrtie. At last there appeared a grand
account of one in BIS paper; it was asaly
of the first class, and full of picturesque
incidents. BIS paper sold like wild-fre, for
in this respect it possessed exclusive intek
ligence. No other paper had word OF the
affair. Under these circumstances, the pr
prietors of AS journal wrote over to him
Indignantly to know why he had not sent
them an account of it. Worse than the dull
lover who makes no sonnet to his mistress
eyebrow, is the correspondent who leaves
sally undescribed. A mounted his charger

old Wilkins in his role in few words.
Then he called Lena. What a heavenly
sight it was to him to behold the sweet
child throw her arms around her fathers
neck, to kiss him and press him to her
heart. ..'i .,
"Ah, my darling father, what horrible
night have passed, filed with anxiety and
care about you. But, thank God, you are
again with me in good health" And now
she laughed and rejoiced.
Then she redeemed the dear man and led
him home in triumph.
Axe accompanied her and informed her
that he had raised few more shillings; she
should provide some dinner with them. In
the joyous activity, the charming industry,
the unassuming behavior of the sweet child,
Axe felt like falling down before her and
kissing her feet.
The young man did not leave until quite
late, and never thought once of his pro-
posed leap from Blackfriar's bridge. He
came every evening ''tO eat up his small
earnings of the day"
After the lapse of two weeks he said. one
evening as he was taking leave, "Miss Lena,
will you become my wife | am, it is true,
only a poor cOpyist, but have an honest
heart"
She blushingly dropped her eyes.
"Can you love me, child 2 he asked, in
fearful emotion.
She nodded silently and gave him her
hand.
Il love you inexpressibly; you have saved
my life"
A few days after this, early in the morn
ing, the pair proceeded, plainly but respect
ably dressed. in company with Mr.. Will
kins, to the neighboring church, where they
were quietly married. Trembling with joy,
Axe folded his wife in his arms and kissed
her on the forehead. Before the church
stood an elegant carriage. A footman in
livery respectfully held the door open.
Jump in,' cried the happy husband to his
astonished wife, and before she knew what
she was about all three had entered, and
were driven away at rapid pace, Before
a high, splendid mansion in Westminster, the
carriage halted. Richly dressed servants
lifted her out and led her into magnifi-
ce tly-furnished parlors.
Here is your new Mistress" said Axe to
them; ''show her respect and obey her COM
mands."
my darling child, am James Axe, one
of the richest men of this rich city. This
house belongs to you; everything you see is
your own. hold pledge of yours in my
hand that riches will not spoil your pure
maiden heart. Here it is, the prayer book
of your mother. Look what you have writ
ten in it: And if Thou gavest me all the
treasures of the universe, my God, / would
still remain Thy humble servant. For what
is gold before Thee, as Thou only regardest
hearts, To Thee beloRgest my heart, and
shall always remain sou
ITO God and to thee, my James" whis-
pered Lena, and laid her head blushingly
upon her husbands breast.
. Hurrah for the leap from Blackfriar's
bridge" cried Axe, exultingly, and en-
braced his father-in.law

A Plea for Those Who sleep i'm the Morn

The fact is, that as life becomes more con-
centrated, and its pursuits more eager,
short sleep and early rising become impos-
sible. We take more sleep than our ances-
tors, and we take more because we want
more Six hours sleep Will do very well for
plowman or bricklayer, or any other man
who has no other exhaustion than that pro-
dueed by manual labor, and the sooner he
takes it after his labor is over the better;
but for man whose labor is mental, the
stress of work is on his brain and nervous
system, and who is tired in the evening
with a day of mental application, neither
early to bed nor early to rise is wholesome.
He needs letting down to the level of re-
pose The longer interval between the
active use of the brain and his retirement
to bed, the better his chance of sleep and
refreshment To him an hour after mid
night is probably as good as two hours be-
fore it, and even then his sleep will not so
completely and quickly restore him as it
will his neighbor who is physically tired.
He must not only, go to bed later, but lie
longer. His best sleep probably lies in the
early morning hours, when all the nervous
excitement has passed away, and he is in
absolute rest.

An old story contains lesson which many
married couples have not yet learned. When
Jonathan Trumbull was Governor of Con
necticut, gentleman called at his house
one day requesting private interview. He
said, II have called upon very unpleasant
errand, sir, and want your advice. My wife
and do not live happily together, and | am
thinking of getting divorce. What do you
advise, sir p
The Governor sat a few moments in
thought; then turning to his visitor, said,
"How did you treat Mrs. W when you
were counting herr and how did you feel to-
ward her at the time of your marriage r
Squire W replied, Il treated her as
kindly as | could, for l loved her dearly at
that time"
"Well, SIR" said the Governor, Ego home
and court her now just as you did then, and
love her as when you married her. Do this
in the fear of God for one year, and then
tell me the result.
The Governor then said, LET us pray"
They bowed in prayer and separated.
When year passed away Squire W
called again to see the Governor, and said:
II have called to thank you for the good
advice you gave me, and to tell you that my
wife and l are as happy as when first we
were married. l can not be grateful
enough for your good counsel"
Il am glad to hear it, Mr. W." said
the Governor, ''and l hope you will continue
to court your wife as long as you live"

A VindicatiOn - The Union Men of the
South.

The Montgomery (Alabama) State journal
complains of the injustice so frequently
done the active white Union men of the
South by hasty, ineonsiderate writers, who
talk so tippantly about their dishonest mo-
tives. 1t says thai their sincerity as a class
is impeached and their very existence
treated as doubtful and it adds:
We know how unjust and cruel these al
lusions are. There are in Montgomery
hundreds of white men and women there are
thousands all over the South, who are true
TO freedom and the Union, holding fast to
their faith with sublime fidelity in the dark
est hours of the civil war, and who are true
to-day. There are men and women here,
Southern bred and born. who for their low
atty have suffered loss of property, social
position, friends and all that made the flu
ture bright, save their love of truth
and the approval of clear conscience,
whom the world is not worthy. whose
names will be canonized in the
grand calendar of the worlds heroes and
martyrs. There are others and thousands
who have died to bear witness to the truth.

We copy this singular paragraph from
the New York Ereninq Nail. 1t seems to
be rather mixed:
1t is proposed to start a new paper in New
Orleans somewhat on the plan of the st.
Louis and Cincinnati dailies, TO be sold at
the same price as those papers are at the
office of publication, and complete with
telegraph news. A New Orleans letter
says: THE daily papers here now cost tif-
teen cents each when complete. Itrequires
two days to get up and get out either one of
the leading papers of this city. At two
o'clock to-day you get the first installment
OF to-morrow's paper at the cost of five
cents. So for so good, for this seems like
going ahead fast enough for general pur-
poses at least, but tomorrow you pay ten
cents tor the remainder, both days into one,
and set yourself down to read over the
telegaphic dispatches copied from the upper
country dailies which come by mail-all for
fifteen cents"
