SWANSDOWN VILLA

We are not rich, but we are better OFF
than people think us, which is my idea
of comfort. Live in a somewhat quleter
style than your income might fairly
allow, and you have a margin. Osten-
tation is a very nice thing for people
who like it, but it necessitates pulling
at your expenditure to make ends meet;
and then, if the income tax is doubled
or another child comes, you are worried
and perplexed. We have two children,
and an aunt, and desire 40 increase to
our family. On the aunt side we are
pretty safe; on the child-side we hope
for the best, but there is no knowing.
The rising generation is very perverse,
and crops up occasionally in the most
unexpected way.
Aunt Sarah has lived with us ever since
the second year of our marriage, when
she had the misfortune to lose her Eide ;
and being of an affectionate disposition,
bound to love something, she fixed on
our baby as fit object for attachment.
She has her two rooms and her own maid
and can be as independent as she pleases.
OF course, the fact makes no difference
in our feelings toward her or in our
desire for her comfort, but L may men
ton incidentally that her money is
entirely at her own disposal, and that
she has good deal OF it. She is only
my aunt by marriage, but ! am quite as
fond of her as / could be of blood re-
lation, perhaps more so, for since it Ii
notorious that man loves his wife
better than himself, (or ought to- ii
seems TO follow by analogy that he must
also prefer her family to his own, espe-
cially any member of it to whom he feels
grateful for what she will very probably
do for him or for his children some day
Aunt Sarah liked our home. 1t was
close to London; yet park where fresh,
almost country air, could.be breathed was
within a short walk. Water, too, was
visible from the drawing room windows;
and as the happiest portion of her life
had been spent on the banks of the Sew
erp, she was partial to water and liked
to watch the vessels passing to and fro.

Warm Hearted Lincoln.

A striking incident in Mr.. Lincoln's
official life is related by Judge BrOm-
well, of Denver, who visited the White
House in March, 1865. Mr.. Seward and
several other gentlemen were also pres
ent, and the president gradually came
to talk on decisions of life and death.
All other matters submitted to him, he
declared, were nothing in comparison to
these, and he added: ~ reckon there
never was man raised in the
country on farm, where they are al
ways butchering cattle and hogs, and
think nothing of it, that ever grew up
with such an aversion to bloodshed as /
have; and yet I've had more questions
of life and death to settle in four years
than all the men who ever sat in his
chair put together. But I've managed
to get along and do my duty, as [ believe,
and still save most of them; and there's
no man knows the distress of my mind
But there have been some of them |
couldn't save-there are some cases
where the law must be executed. There
was that man -, who was sentenced
for piracy and slave trading on the high
seas. That was case where there must
be an example, and you don't know how
they followed and pressed to get him
pardoned, or his sentence committed
but there was no use talking. 1t had to
be done; / couldn't help him; and then
there was That -, who was caught
spying and recruiting within Popes
lines in Missouri. That was another
case. They besieged me day and night,
but couldn't give way. We had come
to point where something must be
done that would put a step to such work.
And then there was this case of Beal, on
the lakes. That was case where there
must be an example. They tried me
every way. They wouldn't give up;
but had to stand firm on that, and ]
even had to turn away his poor sister
when she came and begged for his life
and let him be executed, and he was ex.
ecuted, and | can't get the distress out
of my mind" AS the kindly man ut,
tered these words, the tears ran down his
cheeks, and the eyes of the men surround
ing him moistened in sympathy. There
was profound silence, in which they
rose to depart. Three weeks after the
president was killed.

at Smyrna, and commanded a brigade OF
Delaware militia against that portion OF
Sir William Howe's army which made
detour. through New Castle Oh the way
to the field of Brandywine. Governor
Collins gave to the State his emollInents
arising from marriage and tavern Ii
censes, being part of his salary as COM
mander-in-chief, and equal to the yearly
interest on $4,000. No action was
fought on Delaware soil, though Wash
