Cous1N1Ne.-We think it about time
to again put the following good story
in circulation:
A country gentlemen, some years
ago, visited Boston, and Immediately
repaired to the house of a relative, O
lady who had married merchant
The parties we're glad to see him and
invited him to make their house his
home, as he had declared his inten-
ton of remaining in the city day or
two. The husband of the lady, an
xious to show attention to relative
and friend Of his wife, took the gen.
tleman's horse to livery stable in
the neighborhood. Finally, his visit

chant, after a lapse of eleven days,
found, besides lodging and boarding
the gentleman, a pretty considerable
bill had run up at the livery stable.
Accordingly, he went to the man who
kept the stable, and told him when
the gentleman took the horse ne must
pay his bill.
every good" said the stable-keep-
er; II understand you."
Accordingly, in a short time the
country gentleman went to the sta
bic and ordered his horse to be got
ready. The bill, of course, was pre-
sented.
"Oh," said the gentleman, s.Mr. B.
my relative, will pay this"
every good, sir" said the stable
keeper; ''please to get an order from
Mr.. B.; it will be the same as the
money" aaa
The horse was put up again, and

Many writer's have devoted them
selves to telling US about the wives of
great men. We know something of
most of them. Their peeuliarities
and domestic virtues are recorded
and safely preserved. But who will
tell us Of their sweethearts, who new
er became their wives? OF the girls
whose beauty filled their boyish
hearts with admiration and unselfsh
love; love far purer, better and no.
lier than that which accompanied
them to the altar in later years.
Few men married their first love at
all. The man who fiirts till thirty
cannot love. At least he cannot love
as a boy loves.
Not long since I met a lady who
was for years the betrothed of Sena-
tor Carpenter. She loved him with
a womans devotion. She watched
every movement of his life with an
intense anxiety. She was keenly
sensitive to any reproach cast upon
him as if she bore his names and
shared his life. And yet he had bro
ken his VOWS and married another.
He had held her heart in thrall until
she felt that it was worthless to any
one but him, and then flung it away
as a discarded thing. He wrote her
after his marriage and received her
forgiveness and her blessing. He
carries with him still her fondest,
sweetest thoughts. When he speaks
to the Senate there is an ear afar off
listening for every word; and when
he receives the plaudits of men he
thinks, perhaps, of one whose smile
is worth more than all their praises,
who will smile when others frown,
and will be true when all else is false.
There is living in Detroit vener-
able and respected lady, who to those
who know her, is the heroine of a
strange story. She may be seen al
most any day on the streets, hurry
ing from her tour of shopping back
to her pleasant little home, where
over her needle and thread her fam
cies have full play and memory is
supreme.
She is q woman of rare intellect and
great cultivation, charming CONVEX
sationalist, and an exemplary chris
tian. She has been twice married
and twice widow, and now as time
is drawing his silver tracings through
her hair, she moves alone. The low
ed ones of the past are gone. Her
interests and her affections draw her
toward the world of spirits.
She was in her young days the be.
trothed Of Jefferson Davis. Why
they never married is not known.
She treasures too dearly the casket
Of the past to open it to other eyes.
It may be that to her near and dear
ones she tells the story. I am not
among them, and consequently do
not know it.
1t is certain, however, whatever
may have prevented the consumma-
ton Of their early plans, she and the
rebel President have never lost their
regard for each other. They still ex-
change letters, and watch over each
others welfare. Two such lives run
ming in such different channels, and
yet having the sympathy of heart and
interest, must have much to attract
each other. His has been life of

"0'ER l0WLAND AND RIVER TO NE. !"
BY j. G. CLARK.

Leona, the hour draws nigh,
The hour we've waited so long,
For the angel to open door through
the sky,
That my spirit may break from its pris-
on and try
Its voice in an infinite song.
Just now as the slumbers of night
Came DER me with peace-giving
breath, '
The curtain half lifted revealed to nv
a sight
Those windows which look on the king
dom of light,
That borders the river of death.
A vision fell solemn and sweet,
land;
l saw the white shore which the pale
waters beat,
And heard the low lull as they broke
at their feet a.
Who walked OIL the beautiful strand.
And I wondered why spirits should
cling
To their clay with struggle and sigh,
When life's purple autumn is better
than spring,
And the soul fires away like sparrow,
to sing
In cline where leaves never die.
Leona, come close to my bed,
And lay your dear hand on my brow :;
The same touch that thrilled me in days
that are dead,
And raised the last roses of youth from
the dead, s, -
Can brighten the brief moments now.
We have loved from the cold-world
apart,
And your trust was too generous and
true
For their hate to overthrow; when the
slanderer's dart
Was ranking in my desolate heart,
/ was dearer than ever to you.
I thank the Great Father for this,
That our love is not vanished in vain :;
Each germ, in the future, will blossom
to bliss,
And the forms that we love and the lips
that we kiss,
Never shrink at the shadow of pain.
By the light of this faith 1 am taught
That my labor is only begun;
In the strength of this hope have l
struggled and fought
With the legions of wrong till my ar
NOR has caught
The CLEAN of Eternity's sun.
Leona, look forth and behold,
From headland and hillside anddeep,
The day-king surrenders his boomers of
gold,
And twilight advances through wood
land and void, a.; a-
And the dews are beginning to weep.
The moons silver hair lies uncurled,
Down the .broad-breasted mountains
away;
Ere sunsets red glories again shall be
turled
On the walls of the west, DER the plains
of the world,
shall rise in q limitless sky.
I 60, but weep not DER my tomb,
p Nor plant with irail flowers the sod
There is rest among roses too sweet for
its gloom
And life where lilies eternally bloom
In the Misunderstanding gardens of God.
Yet deeply these memories burn,
Which bind me to you and to earth,
And have sometimes thought that my
being would yearn
In the bowers of its beautiful home to
And visit the home of it's birth.
'Twould even be pleasant to stay,
And walk by your side to the last;
But the land-breeze of heaven is Begin
ming TO play
Life's shadows are meeting Eternity's
day,
And its tumult is hushed in the past.
Leona, goodbye; should the grief
That is gathering now, ever be
Too dark for your faith, you will long
for relief,
And remember, the journey, though
lonesome, is brief,
Der lowland and river to me.

posted that an amateur Of the town would
make his debut in the piece Of that eve

The piece, Don Quixote, was played
amidst general inattention--the audience
were thinking Of the native amateur.-
About Che last scene Sancho made his en-
trance on his proyerbial donkey. The au-
dienee, thinking they were to be taken in,
shouted loudly for the amateur. Herve
came forward with dignity, pointed to the
beast and said: "You we're promised the
