after long life spent together. he
pays her the highest compliment man
can pay to a woman. A model wife
and mother, sharing his triumphs In
health, and although for many years
an invalid, never losing her sweetness
of temper and manners, Mrs. Marshall
was so tenderly remembered that on
every anniversary of her death, which
was on the Fourth of July, the grand
old Chief Justice was in sackcloth
and ashes amid the general jubilee.

MATRIMONY.

In the Spring-time of life we are
all apt to think that love is the most
sacred of heavens gifts, and that
matrimony may still be a means of
grace when it is as unhappy as was
the marriage of that pair on whose
tombstone appreciative neighbors
sculptured for epitaph-s'Their war
fare is over!' 1t is nowadays the
fashion to discuss matrimony as
means of livelihood. We are all of
us the constant subject of illusions
in this respect. We forget our disa-
pointments and dlssemble our misery.
Nature intends us to found home.
wherein to rear those who take our
place after our own life-work is COM
pleted. And this task requires long
years of unselfish effort from which
many would shrink, had not nature
surrounded it with the most elaborate
network of illusions. The heart
bows down with chiyalrous devotion
before the one in whom the rest of
mankind discern nothing quite divine.
The touch of the waxen dimpled fin
gers of the babe draws from every
fibre of the mothers being a music
sweeter than any earthly strain. At
the bed of sick child the most frivo-
lous mother becomes fervid in her
devotion. Casting aside the bracelets
from her wrists, and the tiara from
her brow, she passes without a thought
of reluctance into the mere nurse.
ALI the while, father and mother and
child alike, seen without the glamour
of love, by the calm eyes of by-stand-
ers, are of ordinary mould. They
are probably as "homely as sin =
but each by-stander suspects that in
his own home he owes something to
the same glamour, and is therefore
indulgent to the common illusion.
When using the word marriage, "
let it be understood that it relates to
| union of the affections. Men and
women who get parson to run
through time-worn ceremony of
words which bring them together as
so-called husbands and wives, when
really convenience is at the bottom
of it all, are not married. Legal and
celestial ceremonies have nothing
to do with the sympathetic affections

met by the workmen with counten-
ances of interest and mystery. Their
information startled me. While bus
led cutting down the tree, they had
heard something rattle and fall with
in, and on examination discovered
within it the bones of skeleton,
though whether human or not they
could not tell. Communicating the
fact to Mr.. Warren, who was in his
garden, they had by his advice de-
sisted until my arrival.
[ went to the spot, and with the
men and Mr.. Warren examined the
tree.
Through the opening already made
the bones were clearly to be distin-
guished and / directed that the
trunk should at once be felled. When
this was done there was exposed a
hollow stump, in which lay mass of
human bones, with the remains of a
woman's dress; and beneath these
and the decayed wood and dust which
had gathered over them cleaned the
lustre of jewels and gold and silver
coin.
/ looked at Mr.. Warren, who,
white as death, had staggered to a
garden bench.
'sMy God!'' he exclaimed. ''It
is-Emily p
Yes, it was Emily. Of this there
could be no doubt. The tree had
long held its fearful secret and was
still unable to reveal it. 1t had given
up Emily's skeleton, but how came
the poor girl to be immured within
this living tomb?
Further examination, however, re-
vealed the whole horrible truth.
II see how it all was," my old
neighbor said, in q broken and fall
tering voice, ''she had thrown her
shawl over the wall that it might not
be in her way, and then mounted the
tree to where the three branches
meet: and there, hidden by the
masses of ivy, lay the fatal trap.
Through that great hole she slipped,
and the ivy closed over her in her
living tomb
He shuddered, and the tears gush-
ed into his eyes.
We neither of US expressed the
thoughts which chilled and moved
our hearts to plying horror. Had
her death been sudden, or had she
slowly starved and pined to death
Her cries could not have been heard,
for the house stood apart, and her
parents had left home and gone in
pursuit of her. / thought of Cecie's
strange fancy concerning the old
tree, and lost myself in vague con-
lectures as to the nature of those
mysterious influences which some
times affect our human perceptions.
how or whence we may not know.
This was the secret which the old
tree held. And I may add that to
this day Cecie knows nothing of it,
for, besides the clergyman who gave
Christian burial to the remains of the
poor girl, no one but ourselves, who
made the discovery, ever knew the
secret. We thought it best that il
should be so.
But [ observed that Cecie never
after complained of the uneasy in
fluence which had before SO annoyed
her. With the removal of the tree
and the burial of the bones, nature
resumed her bright and joyous sway
in the old garden. Hta

But they have faded long ago.
Ah-dust to Dust the last repose-
Ashes to ashes well 1 know

Those whom loved, so long ago.
How surely this with me will be!

From fancied slight from jealously
Made free and safe-ah! long ago.
And yet may some things with us stay:
As, on the waters, lilies blow
In white and green, just as they lay
In white and green, so long ago.

In Memory's light ones face may glow"

Unshaken Faith.


Not all thesIkeptics in the land, -
Nor all the "fools'' who say
"sThere is no God,' at whose command
We worship or obey"
Shall shake my firm, rejoicing creed
That God the Lord is God indeed.
Not all the terrible events
That thrill the world with fear,
The wrecks, the fires, the accidents,
That prove death ever near,
Shall loosen my fast-anchored faith
That God is lord of life and death.
Not all the individual woes
That are my seperate share,
The racking pains, the parting throes
That heart from heart must tear,
Shall make me yield my sure belief
That God in love sends pain and grief.
1 would not change my faith and hope,
For all the learning brought
To search the wide and varied scope
fphilosophic thought,
If, through such learning, deny
The Godhead of the Lord most high.
No, no,-I cling to the old faith
That God is Natures King;
He holds in His own hands the breath
Ofevery living thing;
God kills, and makes alive; and He
Is Lord of Immortality.

A BLIND MANS DUEL.

IL 10 uouU6lul IL any .tHcdIc tftf
offered such volumes of romantic in
cidents as the deck of the old-time
Mississippi steamer. In the days
before railroads traversed the conti-
nent in every direction, and the West
was wilderness, New Orleans was
the Mecca of travellers, and the fleet
wave-borne palaces of this inland sea
carried thousands of pleasure-seekers
to the South. It was then that life
was carousal, and men and women
gave themselves up to the most lavish
enjoyment. Men were as prone to
brawls as the sparks to fly upward,
Conspicuous among the fierce and
rollicking habitues of the steamers
was Captain West, noted duelist.
One day he engaged in conversation
with a gentleman whom he met on
deck, and accused him of staring at
him impertinently. qHss.
'Why do you stare at me SO in
tently?" demanded the captain.
81 am not looking at you," calmly
replied the stranger, his eyes in the
mean time fixed in a stony glare up
on the duelist's face. rid
!
"But you are, sir y G 'tis O.
'sI am not cold ---
The captain turned away, but a
short time afterwards he felt that
those stony eyes were upon him, fol-
lowing all his movements with pitt
less ferocity. 1t became inexpress-
IDLY annoying, and at last the cap
tain determined to make an end Of
it. Stepping up to the stranger, he
enquired with suppressed passions
''Can you fight as well as you
/ look?'' So
"Perhaps so. I never tried it.
Place me in position, and l will do
my best.
The singular conduct of the strang-
er had by this time attracted univer-
sal attention, and whispered confer
ences rearding his remarkable appear
ance agitated the little groups of per-
sons all over the boat. In short time,
however, the vessel rounded to a
landing for wood, and then the par
ties to the impromptu duel went
ashore. The passenger was led off by
negro servant, who seemingly
picked his way. Indeed from the
! intense interest he was manifesting
/ in the encounter, the colored servant
was apparently more interested in
the encounter than his master. But
the time allowed for preliminaries was
brief, and the men were speedily put
i in position and the pistols placed in
their hands.
I The word was given, and two ring
ing reports flashed out upon the air.
| Captain West fell pierced to the
heart. The stranger stood erect,
calm, and dignified. His second

nist?'
/ Cant you see? you have killed

| "No; am unable to see.''
| "Can't you see"

| And he was. The tragedy was a
nine days wonder, and all sorts of
rumors were rife as to the idenity of
the fatal stranger, but who he was
and whittier he went was mystery
never solved. The circumstance went
to make up an incident in the dark
and bloody memories which made
famous the olden time. s

started in for grand debauch. He
laid in So worth of cigarettes and then
commenced sampling lemonade at
the bridge entrance. As everybody

steps to enjoy them, and then went
and had some clam chowder. After
this he proposed to go to High Bridge
