He want ed to get into the sunshine again. l Madame suddenly struggled to rise. She grasped the arms of the chair with great haste. It was a contest with her infirmities. The Cuban assisted her.
 She cried after tho baron, who had gained the door,
 ''But your wife here! You have not spoken to her! She"-
 The baron looked back and shook his head with smile :-
 :.'Oh no, she wishes mo away, and I am going."
 Madame took step forward with her head raised, uttering at the same time a sound which might have been taken equally well for laugh or an outburst of grief.
 ''Then ask about your boy. Say some thing leave some messageI He is very beautiful; am suro you would like to sec him. His eyes arc like his mothers, but his mouth- You would admire him do. What! will you not mention him? l will tell him faithfully. You will not? No?"

Lucien!' l As she reached tho door of the apart ment. her vigor spent itself. She seized the glistening bolt with both hands and l listened with protruding eyes and parted lips. The noise of tho closing of the outer door rosounded 1ike thunder. Madame whispered to the Cuban with such intensity that tho chamber was filled with the voice.
 "He has gone! he has goneI' .- The Cuban caught her as she was about to iall, and laid her in her lounging- chair Madame's death occurred twelve hours alter tho departure of her husband. In an interval of reason she arranged that tno small income of Q certain unconyerti- DIG property that she possessed should be devoted to the support and education of her husbands child. She was unablo to do more than this. As. sho was finally sinking back into tho arms of her beloved companion, she was partially aroused by rapid jarring of her frail bed. This was caused by the porters, who were plllng trunks in tho hall.
 Tho Cuban rained tears upon the shrunken face, and clasped the stiffened hands to her bosom. One wreck vanish cd another began its crippled journey.

Correspondence of THE VALLEY v1RG1S1AN.


MAJOR YosT.-As friend of Temperance.
Though not a member Of any OF the different
Temperance orders,) wish with your permits
sion to publish in the Virginian, a rare act OF
firmness aud wise decision Of an English girl,
who crossed the Atlantic, to consllmmate d
marital engagement made in her native land,
with young man, who hsd preceded her two
years to this country. She was stopping with
friend of her Esother, and at whose house she
was to he marf'cds During the time she was
making her wedding outfit, the young man
made her q visit, aud was Just drunk enough to
be foolish las men get sometines.) She was
shocked and mortified beyond measure. She
then learned for the first time, that he was i'll
the habit of drinking frequently to excess
She Immediately stopped the preparations, and
told him she could not marry him. He pro-
tested that she would drive him to distraction !;
promised never to drink another drop, Sc.-
NO. she said, II dare not trust my future
happiness to man who has formed such hab
its. | came three Thousand miles 20 marry the
man loved, and new. rather than marry 4
dltinlard, | will 90 three thousand miles back
again. And she went. AL young ladies will
not probably be able to follow this girls exam
pie i'll similar cases, but ii they world 90 SO,
the effect of their trnlless would greatly re-.
duce the sum Of intemperance, rs well as SOL
row, degradation and want, so lanentaDly seen
end felt in every town and neigliborhooe OF
the land. Such acts of iirmDcss may cost much
baart-ache, but weakness costs much more
Young ladies shoulI remember, that dislp-
pointed affection that turns away tipping
.sllitor is far less misery than the murdered AT
f.ctons OF a drynkarii's Vile.

Would it not BE- q good idea if we at the

Importance to the country known and felt.
Spectator.
How does the above agree with the usteran-
ces made i'll 1872, by the Sourthen Editorial
Excursionists. Then it was that the bloody
chasm was to be bridged over and each section
vie with the other in their devotion to the
whole country. No north, south, east or west
but one and indivisible; united undzr the Stars
and Stripes, land marching to the music of" Hail
Columbia, happy land.'' But the Greeley tidal
wave was then moving, which may account for
the fraternties at that time. The people OF
the North Will no doubt wonder what they have
done since.IS72, that commercial intercourse
should be closed.

At the rate they are going now it won't take
long to make us discard the idea that such a
man us Shakespeare ever lived. The New

centuries been sailing under false colors. and
now the Page Courier boldly proclaims that
-'My Kingdom for a horse,n was an exclama-

dish royalty. Such is fame ''How little do

we may be-
