the ink Is brown, the paper yellow with age,
and the hands that trscai the friendly word
are folded over the hearts that prompted them.
under the green sod. Above all never burn love
letters. 10 read them in after years Is like a
resurrection to ones youth. The elderly spin-
ster finds in the imprisoned offer she foolish.
iy rejected twenty years ago fountain of re-
JuVenesencr. CHANGING over it she realizes that
she was once a belle and beauty, and beholds
her former self in mirror much more con-
genial to her taste than the one that confronted
her in here dressing room. The "widow in
deed derives a sweet and solemn consolation
from letter of the beloved one who has Journey
ed before her to the far OIL land, from which
there comes no message, and where she hopes
one day to join him. No photographs can so
wildly recall to the memory of the mother the
tenderness and devotion OF the children who
have left at the call of heaven as the epistoiary
outpourings of their love. The letter of a II ne
son or daughter to u true mother is something
better THAI ali image of the features; it is a re.
tex OF the writer's soul. Keep all loving letters
Burn only the harsh ones, aud in burning them
forgive and forget them.

A DEpLoRABLR CAREER Wonderful his
tofes notunfiequently come to light at Colonial
Folice Courts, and one which was divuged
NV weeks ago before ono of tho tribunals at
Dunedin, the capital Of the great province Of
Otigo, was ccrtaInl, Of this character. A wo-
man was placed before the magistrate who APP
peared to he about forty, and bore traces Of re-
markabe beauty. She was the daughter OF a
country gentleman Of good position In Levers
ltavorite county 6slway, Ireland, and there
, made acquaintance with a captain In the army
who was quartered In the neighborhood. A
clandestine marriage took place, and eventually
she accompanied him to India, where they
were most kindly received by an uncle of her
husbands, who had left England many years
before and grown rich, but kept up no commu-
nication with his family. All went well for a
time, until the intimacy between Mrs. q. and
the colonel of her husbands regiment provoked
Indignant comment. The result was that her
husband cast her of, and she resolved 10 return
TO Ireland. There, however, she found that
her family, highly Indignant with her disgrace
full behavior, refused TO see her, and she pre-
sently found herself once more on her way 10
India, 10 endeavOr to soften the heart of her
husband towards her. On the way ont she
made acquaintance with gentleman who be-
came so infatuated with her as TO propose mar
riage, and, notwithstanding her husband at
on board. On reaching India lie discovered
the fraud and like her previous husband cast
her aside, and SHE then discovered that her first
lin fact her only rcalb husband had died, and
left all the wealth which bis rich uncle had be
quea.hed to him, 70 his relations.
Back again she wen. 10 Ireland once more,
10 lind her parents dead, and her sisters resoute
in ,hcir determination not to receive htr. She
then in some mysterious manner contrived TO
enter a family in London Us g0verilcss, but be-
ing disc lvered by the lady of the house intrgu-
ing with her husband, her educational career,
there at least, came to All abrupt termination.
And now her family, fearing no doubt she would
bring some public scandal upon them, offered
through their solicitor to send her to Melbourne,
There she obtained employment as teacher In q
public Institution, her antecedents having, II
may be presumed, been sedulously KEEP. from
the knowledge OF the authorities. So sedate
All occupation no doubt proved extremely I'M
palatable TO one accustomed to q life of excite
ment; and she sought relief from ennui by such
deep llbations that she speedily received congo
here also. 10 '.t
From Melbourne she migrated to New Zea-
land, and going to the diggngs took up with a
digger, but her drunkenness soou disguised
even him, and she at length became all outcast
on the streets Of Dunedin, where she WAS p lac
ed before u magistrate On charge almost week
ly preferred against her of beng drunken
disorderly vagrant

AnsENTEEIsM-Mr. Delano gives notice to
those employees of the United States who are
under his control that if they accept Office they
must discharge the duties faithfully an! remain
at the places where their attention is necessary
Absenteeism is prevailing vice among many
o1cers OF the United States especially Of those
whose spheres of1uty are distant from Wash
ington, and who cannot be watched at all times
as to their incominss and outgoings.
Some OF these gentlemen who are Governors
and Secretaries of Territories, land officers sur
veyors, &C., attend to their duties whenever it
suits them, and go off on pleasure trips without
the knowledge of the department, expecting to
be paid their salaries during the time of their
absence. Mr. Delano says that this sort of
thing must be stopped he will not submit to
it; and If officers go away without permission
they must expect to find themselves officeless
when they return. Other government depart
ments might initiate this policy. 1t has been
lately complained of the district Judge OF Ala
bama that he is never in his jurisdiction; that
law suits depending before him are delayed and
postponed, while he is at Washington, New
York or wherever it suits his pleasure to be,
and that justice is denied In the courts to the
citizens OF Alabama by the conduct Of the
judge. There ought to be general reform in
regard 10 this matter.-IaqlRrer.
