A Terrible Letter.

A great deal of discussion has arisen
since Mrs. Stuart committed suicide in
New York last month, as to the nature of
four letters left by her and written just be-
fore she took poison. The most strenuous
efforts have been made by the friends OF
the deceased to suppress these epistles, and
Coroner Woltman has refused to make
them public. It has been learned, however,
that three of these letters were to relatives,
and merely stated that she had determined
to live no longer, babe them farewell, and
asked their pardon for her determi-
nation. The fourth letter was ad-
dressed to her husband. It was couched
in mild and affectionate language, but
was absolutely terrible in it's contents.
1t called the attention Of MI. Stuart to
their wedding six months ago. 1t referred
to the homes they had left to go through
the world together. 1t reminded him of
the blessings, happiness and prospects they
had started out with, and recalled the good
reasons the bride had to look forward to
the future with the most sanguine expecta-
tions. It spoke Of their vows-hers to love
honor and obey him, and his-to love,
cherish and support her. 1t said that if
ever woman went honestly and lovingly
to a husband, she went so to him, and if
ever a woman had been true and affec-
Tomato wife, she had been one. 1t then,
in painful language showed how the change
had come over her dream, and how she had
seen the rich web of her fancy gradually
drop from her full and glowing ideal until
it left the mere skeleton of her hopes, an
unbearable, CHASTITY reminder Of what they
were reduced. 1t pictured in the language
of youthful despair the gradual sinking Of
her husband into the power of the vice of
drink, until he became absolutely lost to
himself and to her, and became cold, sell
fish. repellant, cruel, and finally intolerable.
And then it said al this being 50, absolute
ly 50, unchangeably so, she had no wish to
live any longer-her every hope was gone,
and she would follow them. She said she
could not help it-she asked his pardon for
her decentralization him that she still
loved him-bade him farewell, and then
took her life.

EVERY DAY PHILosoPHY.-N in
sure your life for the benefit Of your wife
for greater sum than ten thousand dol
lars. A widow with more money than
that is a dangerous legacy to leave poster
ity.
The game Of life is very much like a
game Of cards. Time deals, death cuts.
and everybody is waiting for the last
trump.
[ think men drink in crowds because
they are AFRAID to drink by themselves. 1t
requires considerable courage to stand up
alone and pour a glass of whiskey down
your throat.
There are some Inconsistencies in this
world that [ do not exactly understand
Everybody is anxious to get to heaven,
but nobody is in hurry about 1t.
IF a man has no enemies we would not
give ten cents for his friends. The man
who can please everybody hasn't got sense
enough to please anybody.
When an acquaintance says: How are
you?' and pushes by you without waiting
for a reply, I wouldn't if I were in your
place, follow him much more than mile
to tell him that you were well.
A convenient way OF testing the affec-
lions of your intended is to marry another
woman. If she does not love you, YOU will
find it out at once.

! and she was smiling gently, sweet]y. Wis
ions of happy times were before her.
/ A cautious step approached. She heard

wished not to throw off the sweet influence

| ''No sir, l thought you had. Have you

show of interest.

I put your arms around my neck and give me

said with another caress.
''Some one will soon rob me Of my dar-

Mot likely, papa,' she answered, think

| She opened the door, passed through the
hall and entered the library. The father
strained his ears to catch the sound of
joyous surprise. He hears it. 1t falls on

She could not realize the great joy-lt

And, withdrawing herself from his en-

"Come, come to father Can he mean

Kneeling before him, she asked between
tears and smiles
''Do you mean-Oh, father, speak Tell

"Gertie's New Years gift-her fathers

that ever a girl had. What can we
do to make him happy?
"Why, darling, am now very happy.
1t comes very suddenly with my resolve to
make others So" answered Andrew Eos

What We Remember.

Every one has memory. but every one
has not the same natural affinities, an6
therefore, every one does not retain with
equal facility the same sort of thing. One
man, from taking glance at an object,
Will sketch it correctly; another could not
give correct representation were he to
labor for month. The mind Of another
! is more for living objects, and like Culver
or Knox. he carries in his memory the
names and forms of hundred of plants and
animals. A third has propensity for the
faces of his fellow creatures, and, like
Themistocles, he can name each Of the
twenty thousand Of his fellow citizens; or
like Cyrus, he could remember the name
! of every soldier in hi, army; the like being
related Of L. Sclpio and the Romans. The
day following the arrival of Games, ambas-
sador of King Pyrrhus, in Rome, he salu-
/ ted by name all the senate and the gentle
men Of city. George Ill. of England had
faces. The taste Of a fourth is for Ian
guages and, like Mezzofanti or Alexander
Murrany. every word he hears or reads in
a foreign tongue becomes a lifelong heri-
tage. Another retains mathematics, the
the symbols of which require peculiar
cast Of memory. Such a mind is generally
destitute Of love Of color, music, &c.; it
wrestles with the artificial symbols, but
with these it mixes the consideration of
actual appearances to the senses. The
taste of another is for choice, emphatic,
and sublime diction like Wakefield, he
can repeat the whole of Virgil and Horace,
Homer and Pindar. The faculty of recol-
Letting places is very large in some of the
inferior animals; pigeons and some sorts
Of dogs have it very prominently. The
falcon of Iceland returns to it's native spot
from a distance Of several thousand of
miles. And it seems likely that this has
at least something to do with reference to
those birds which migrate from one coun-
try to another. 1t seems indispensable to
a successful traveller Columbus, Cook,
Park, and Livingstone must have been
largely endowed with this faculty. These
diversities have not been sufficiently kept
in view in the important business of edu-
cation, and the principle of examining the
same thing into every sort Of memory still
too extensively prevails.

DEsPON Y.-The most perilous
hour Of PERSONS life is when he is TEMPT

courage loses all !; there is no more hope
OF him than OF dead man: but it mat

pushed by circumstances, how much desert
ed by friends, how much lost to the world :.
if he only keeps his courage, holds up his

to do what becomes a man, all will be we'll
1t is nothing outside of him that kills. but

NEW YEAR, NIGHTIN THE OLD HOUSE.
BY MRS. FELICIA ROSS JOHNSON.

The mistress unused ly the glowing fire
When the year was in its wane;
And the frozen:boughs:: as the wind blewshigher,
Knocked at the window pane,
Like guest unbdden and long delayed,
Who hummed tho his beard, as he. knocking
stayed,
A tender cmomatic strain.
The freight glimmered on book and bust.
And the curtains fern wrought sweep
Swelled and swayed in a sudden gust
AS the door Enclosed, land like one asleep
She saw how among procession came,
Man, and Maiden, and stately dame.
AS if each had a tryst to keep.
tryst, with the house that was once their own,
tryst, one night in the year,
Where their sweetest hopes had budded and grown
Where the Lord had drawn so near
In birth and in death, in gain and in loss,
And fed them with mama that dropped from the
cross
When the days were empty and drear
tenants OF by-gone years were they,
Holding their tenuIes one hour again;
Living their lives in the old time way -
Burying, wedding toiling as then;
Greeting their guests with welcome kind,
Eating fes apple all clean from the rind
Then calling it bitter like men.
The BRIDE i'll her veil like blossomy mist,
Came silently up the stair,
The bridegroom beside, but they shuddered, wis
AT the sound of beseechng prayer,
At the sobbing wall of funeral hymn,
And their fair young faces LOOK pale and dim
By the funeral torches glare.
Softly the dirge died away on the ear
The rooms were all lit and ashine
With jewels and satins and woman's gear
Fashioned in quaint design;
And voices of viols rang loud o yer all,
While the feet of the dancers swift to their cal
And the gobets brimined over with Wine
All, the lights were soon quenched, the viols al
mute,
The red wines all spilled on the floor,
The garlands all withered and dead underfoot
The guests flown aWay-as breeze
Whirls the ghosts OF a thistle away out Of sight
When the chimes of the New Year rang out on the
night
With master hand touching the keys
The mistress unused by the waning fire,
While the bells kept ringing on,
Saying and singing 20 soul aspire
From the plane of the year that is gone;
The dust Of old errors shake off at its bier
Grid tyself for the new one and so thou wilt hear
The voice of the Lord in the dawn!"

A Word About Contradicting.

| No one likes to be contradicted, even
when contradiction is absolutely necessary.
A few resolutely amiable souls may bear it
| without visible demonstration of annoy
ance. but such cases are uncommon and
exceptional, and only serve to prove the
rule But too often it happens that con-
tradiction is not only unnecessary but SUI
perfuous, as few samples will prove.
Miss A, and her sister are calling, and
Miss A. is speaking of the death of mu-
tual friend. eyes, saw her in July for
the last time!" says Miss A. where-upon
sister Immediately interrupts with, 'sOh,
no, you didn't, you saw her in August; I
remember very well it was the first day in
August
''Well, in August, then,' says Miss A.,
accepting the correction, and going on
with her story. ''She seemed very well,
and yet it was just one week ssafterwards
that she was taken ill''-
"Oh, no, it was eight days after you saw
her you said 80 at the time," breaks in
the accurate sister once more.
Miss A. finally closes her narrative by
saying "And she left such a young fami-
ly the baby is only a year old now."
why, sister, how can you say so that
child is one year and two months old at
the least" is the instant correction. And
so the dialogue goes on-every remark
sandwiched between the Interruptions of
the same sort-the most unimportant dates
and facts constantly re-stated; and the
contradiction full of interest and compla-
cency all the while.
Too often the whole point of an anus
ing anecdote, Or the force of remark, is
destroyed by some such unmeaning and
impertinent contradiction, while the eff
feet upon both speaker and hearers is ir-
ritating in the extreme. Only lately we
were commencing exactness Of speech,
correctness in small details, and the like,
but this is a very different matter from
that, and should never be COMPOUNDED
with it:
