of Louisville, who had given her every ac-
complishment. She was very beautiful, and
in 1854, at the age of 20, became the wife of
a wealthy citizen of Louisville. She lived
with him, apparently happy, for two years,
when, for some reason that was never fully
explained, she returned to her parents. A
year or SO afterward she was granted a di-
vorce from her husband by an Indiana court.
Two years afterward she scandalized society
and broke her parents heart by marrying a
dissolute actor of Louisville by the name of
Swift, and even braYed public opinion by
appearing on. the stage under her maiden
name soon afterward. Her parents both died
in short time after her second marriage,
and about the time the war broke out she
and Swift had separated.
during the war Major Fitch, of Kalama-
zoo, Michigan, was provost marshal of the
Louisville distlict. He was a brave officer,
and had a wife and two children in Michi-
gan, to whom he was devotedly attached.
One night he visited theater in
Louisville, and saw Serena Swift,
as she was then called. He was intro
duced to her after the play, and her beauty
fascinated him. Not long afterward she saw
living openly with the major AS his mistress.
He was completely in her tolls, and in few

brought her children on from Kalamazoo and
begged him to return to her and them and
be forgiven. Her prayers were of no avail
and the wife returned home, where she soon
afterward became insane, and died in mad
house Serena Swift took the name of the
major, and became known as Mrs. Emma
Fitch. just before the close of the war Major
Fitch resigned his position. Then his de-
scent was rapid. In company with his para
mour he became the keeper Of house of i'll
fame. He was finally discarded by her,
and he disappeared. She led a notorious life
for a year or two in Louisville, running many
young men. and then went to St. Louis.
''When the alarm of fire was given on the
steamer StOnewall, Mrs. Fitch and her COM
panion were among the cabin passengers
who fastened on deck. They were both
flushed with wine. The woman rushed to
the side of the vessel, and looking back at
the advancing flames, with face blanched
with terror she sprang into the river. She
was never seen again. The young mas was
among those vile were saved, and he was
saved in a dOubie sense. He was flying
with the notorious woman Of the town, with
large amount of money in his possession
belonging to his employers. Their destina-
tion was to have been Havana. He returned
to ST. Louis and handed over the stolen mo-
ney before his defalcation and fight had
even been suspected. He is still in business
in IN st. Louis, exemplary and prosperous

A Charming Country Cousin.

Life in the country at this season of the
year is not without its charms. The big
blazing wood fire on the hearth at evening
beats all the transformation scenes of the
theater in the wonderful changes and visions
that can be studied in its crumbling Goals,
and then, there is the ruddy and handsome
farmers daughter, the princess of the kitchen
who knows more about the common sense
way of getting along in the world than any
two of our city cousins. Given the fireplace
and this sort of girl to watch the dying

Baby's shoes

on, those little shoes. those little blue shoes!
Those shoes that no little feet use.
Oh, the prices were high
That those shoes would buy,
Those little blue unused shoes!
For they hold the small shape of feet
That no more their mothers eyes meet,
That, by Gods good will,
Years since, grew still,
And ceased from their so sweet.

dav. Sometimes she listened to the selfish
desire, and then the soft tones Of love could
not be heard. But she tried and tried, and
it was wonderful how many little things fell
in her way to do that made some face brighter.
Very often it was the dear face of her mother
that grew happier through the love of her
little girl, and many an hour was given up
TO Joe and his baby pleasures. Fathers face
became restful whenever Lucy slipped her
hand into his, and she felt repaid for the
moments spared to cheer him when he was
tired with his work. Then at school she
found many ways of helping others; some
times what she did was hardly worth noticing
but if you had heard the girls talk about
sweet Lucy Bell you would have wished to
speak the gentle word and perform the acts
Of loving service that made for her so warm
a corner in every heart Some people Won
dered at Lucy's joyous face, but those who
knew her guessed how it was, and grand
father said it was because the vsice Of sell
fishness had been silenced, and the gentle
voice of love had been her guide.

Lord MacauIay,
From Blackwoods Magazine

His was memory Of stupendous feats,
and also an intelligent instrument and
servant. He could not only remember
what was useful, what he wanted to re-
member, but what was utterly worthless,
what entered his mind by accident, what
was read by the eyes only, scarcely en-
tering into the mind. If, on one occa-
sion, he repeated to himself the whole
of "Paradise Lost" while crossing the
Irish channel, on another, waiting in a
Cambridge cotfee-house for a post
chaise, he picked up country news
paper containing two poetical pieces
one Reflections Of an Exile" and the
other "A Parody on Welsh Ballad -
looked them once through, never gave
them further thought for 10 years, and
then repeated them without the change
Of single word. The readers of his
"life" will remember that his memory
retained pages of trashy novels read once
IN his youth. In fact, in a way Of
speaking, he forgot nothing. AS has
been we'll said, "his mind, like dredg-
ing net at the bottom of the sea, took up
all that it encountered, both bad and
good, nor ever seemed to feel the bur-
den, in this differing from Boiling
broke. We have spoken Of disprepor-
tionate memories. His we cannot but
think a case in point. He would have
been fairer historian if he could have
forgotten some things-if his early i'm
pressions had so faded that they could
have given place to, or at least been
modified by, new ones. In their vivid
strength they stood in the way of judy
ment.

Genuine Esquimaux Docs.

Lieut.. Deane, of the army, who went
out with the Gl1lnare, brought with him
two cute little Esquimaux puppies, which
he has presented to Captain Howgate.
They are interesting little creatures, and
as frolicsome as kittens. They are cov-
cred with fur, as soft and fine as Saxony
wool, and they are as fond of petting as
children. The heads are black, and the
bodies dingy white, which is, however,
gradually yielding to soap and water,
and promises in time to rival the SHOWS
Of their Arctic birthplace in whiteness.
Their eyes beam with intelligence, and
their ears are pointed, like those Of foxes.
They are extremely good-natured, and
manifest great fondness for human So
ciety, which proves that they are an i'm
portant factor in the domestic circles of
the frigid zone. They were fed meat on
their arrival, and, not being accustomed
to diet Of that kind, it nearly ended their
lives. Then the weather has been very
warm in the middle of the day, and the
poor creatures painted as vigorously as a
United States member of the genus
canine in the dog days. When ] saw
them they had just dmed On raw oysters,
which they had enjoyed immensely, and
were trifing over their desert-a twenty
pound block of ice, that they caressel
with all the apparent fondness one be-
slows on an old and familiar friend. If
they survive such extremes Of climate
and are not SO many pounds of hydro
phobia to the square inch, fine sledges
drawn by Esquimaux dogs viii be one of
the vagaries of fashionable metropolitan
life in the near future. - Washington

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have batf1ed the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
tul effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives. and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh.
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

TO watch the dandeGon's star
Than mystic Saturn's golden rings,
And yet, AID veto dearest one.
My comfort from ifc's earliest breath.
10 folfe" thee whore thou art gone,
ThsSughthese dim, awful gates of Death
10 find thee-feel thy smile again,
TO have Eternity s long day
TO tell my grateful love-why, then,
Both heaven and earth might pass away!
