A Puritan Love Letter.

Perhaps the oldest, most homogeneous,
and with the single exception of Sam
Weller's Valentine" most uncouth
love letter ever written, was one from
John Winthrop to his third wife short
time before they were married. He was
Puritan of the straightest sect; SO was
she; the two were equally matched so
far, and he accordingly addresses her in
the strangest adaptation OF scripture
language to the purposes OF courtship
ever seen. He begins: "Grace, mercy
and peace, etc, My own beloved spouse,
my most sweet friend and faithful COM
panion of my pilgrimage, the happy and
hopeful supply, next Christ Jesus, Of
my greatest losses" Che had lost two
wives), II wish thee most plentiful in
crease Of all true comfort in the love Of
Christ, with large and prosperous adj
dition Of whatsoever happiness the sweet
estate of holy wedlock, in the kindest
society of loving husband, may afford
thee. Being filled with the Joy of thy
love, and wanting opportunity of more
familiar communion with thee, which
my heart fervently desires, am con
strained to ease the burden of my mind
by this poor help of my scribbling pen,
being sufficiently assured that, though
my presence is that which thou desirest
yet in the want thereof these lines shall
not be unfraitful OF comfort to thee.
And now, my sweet love, let me awhile
solace myself in the remembrance of our
love, Of which this springtime Of our
acquaintance can put forth as yet no
more but the leaves and blossoms, whilst
the fruit lies wrapped up in the tender
bud of hope; little more patience will
disclose this good fruit and bring it to
sure maturity. Let it be our care and
labor to preserve these hopeful buds from
the beasts of the field, and from frosts
and other injuries of the air, lest our
fruit fall off ere it be ripe, or lose aught
in the beauty and pleasantness thereof.
| Let us pluck up such nettles and thofns
as would defraud our plants Of their
due nourishment; let us prune off super
tiuous branches; let us not stick at some
labor in watering and manuring them /;
the plenty and goodness of our fruit
shall recompense us abundantly. Our
trees are planted in fruitful soil; the
ground and pattern Of our love is no
other but that between Christ and his
dear spouse, Of whom she speaks as she
finds him. My well-beloved is mine and
! am his Love was their banquetina
house, love was their wine, love was
their ensign; love was his inviting, love
was her Paintings; love was his apples,
love was her comforts; love was his EN-.
braeings, love was her refreshings; love
made him seek her, love made her seek
him; love made him wed her, love made
her follow him; love made him her Sa
vior, love made her his servant. Love
} bred our fellowship, let love continue il
and love shall increase it until death
shall dissolve it. Amen"

GENERAL SHERMAN.
He Will HencefOrth Reside in st. Louis
Compliments to an Editor.
Interview in National Republican.

Interview in National Republican.
General Sherman said he hoped the papers
would not make q fuss about his retirement.
when l made up my mind to retire from
the army" he said, 81 determined to leave
Washington. 1t is full Of h~ollowness, by
pocrsy and snobbery. So [ SAID to Ellen:
You and the children select a home some
where away from Washington. l will take
you to Gonkers, or New York, or st. Louis,
or anywhere you want to, go, but decide the
matter for once and all time
After due consideration they settled on
81. Louis, and | said; Now, that ends it.
Wen have no more discussion about it, st.
Louis is the place."
lie said that there were many reasons for
their attachment to st. Louis. They have
two children buried in Calvary Cemetery
there, and many warm and devoted friends
there. He had been identified more or less
with st. Louis since 1843. All this time he
mad maintained cordial relations with the
people, aud there were scores of houses
where he would be Just as welcome as he
would be in his own home.
In spite of his good humor, the old Com
mander managed to get in a few ticks on peo-
pie he doesn't like. He was disposed to in
tain newspaper iuen.
Now" said he, there's this fellow,
Whitelaw Reid, of the Tribune. He's a
treacherous cuss. He can write more lies to
the column than any newspaper man in
America. He IL like a scared wolf, too.
At the battle of Shiloh, after the repulse of
the first day, he started to the rear, and never
stopped running till he got to Cincinnati.
He sent off a lot of lies to his paper, saying
That our whole. army had been beaten and
cut to pieces, and was astonished to learn
afterward that it was just the other way"
When General Sherman was asked if there
was anything which had been left undone
which he wanted done before leaving the
army, he replied in general terms that there
were many things which he would like to
have accomplished, but could not. There
was nothing, however, at this time to which
he wished to make particular reference. The
standing army was inadequate for the heavy
burden imposed upon it. There was only a
handful of men to guard a vast extent of
territory, much of it hostile. His views in
favor of an increase of the regular army had
been well known for years. The weakness of
the army had greatly retarded the settlement
and development of the fertile territory in
the northwest and southwest boundaries,
