Wife.

 

BY MARY E. CLARKE. I

 

, ‘Godfrey, old boy,’_said Henry Clayton,
as he tilted back his chair, and put his

wedding to be i”
‘Whose wedding 2’
‘Miss Laura Somers, or Jenny, which

is it ?’

‘I do not know, I am sure?’

‘Now don’t be mysterious, Godfrey,
you know you are a constant visitor, and
all ‘onr set’ are talking about the match
Don’t pretend you have not selected 'one
of the sisters.’

‘How do you know either of the sisters
will have me?’

‘Don’t be absurd, old boy. You, young,
handsome, talented, and with a large
fortune, need not be overbashful. Come,
be frank, which is the favorite sister.

‘Well, fflnkly, thengI cannot tell you.
I have visited the family for several

\,

_ months, as you know, but I cannot decide

aura is certainly the handsomcst, with
her flashing eyes and queenly manner ,-
but Jenny seems, although the young-
est, to be the most womanly and useful
of the two. Yet, I cannot be sure of '
that. My entrance is the signal for cor-
dial welcome and smiles, and, let me call
at whatever. hour I will, they are always
well dressed, and apparently disengaged.
To be sure I always, in the morning,
have to wait some time before Laura is
visible.’

‘Pop in unexpectedly and notice the in-
ternal economy.’

‘How can I I A card at the door will
put any lady on her guard, or even the
notice of a gentleman visitor.’

‘Go there in disguise. As a washer-
woman, for instance.’

‘Good! I will l’

‘Go there’ as a washerwoman l’ cri
Clayton. '

‘Not exactly, but I will obtain admit-
tance to a mornings privacy.’

Laura and Jenny Somers were the on-
ly children of a widower, who, although
in moderate circumstances, moved in
very fashionable society. At the peri-
od of my short sketch, he was about «to
supply the lamented Mrs. Somers’ place,
after nearly ten years mourning, and, al-
though a kind, indulgent parent, had no
objections to his daughters marriage, and
indeed told them so. Laura, whose high
spirit resented the probable supremacy
of a step mother, had already selected
Godfrey Horton as her future husband ;
and Jenny, who was younger and gent-
ler in spirit, tried to. conquer a carefully
concealed preference for the same person.
All his attentions were ascribed by her
to a brotherly regard, though every act
of kindness or curtesy touched her very
heart. ,
It was morning after a large ball, and
the sisters were in the breakfast room
together. Laura her glossy black hair
pushed negligently ofl‘ her face, with the
rough tumbled braids of last evening’s
elaborate coifi‘ure gathered loosely into
a comb; wearinga soiled wrapper, torn
stockings, and presenting rather an
alarming contrast to the brilliant ball—
room belle, was lounging on a sofa. Jen-
ny, in a neat morning dress, with a large
gingham apron, little white collar, and
hair smoothly brushed into a neat knot,
was washing the breakfast dishes.
‘There is an old man at the door
with some artificial flowers,’ said the can
vant, opening the dining room floor, ‘will
you see him 1’

‘No,’ said Jenny.

,Yes,’ cried Laura, ‘send him up.’
' The servant departed to obey the last
order.

In a few moments the old men came
in. He was poorly clad, with a coarse
blue cloak, which was Inch too large for
him. His hair was white, and he wore
a beard and moustache of the same snowy
hue. Making a 10w how. he placed the
large basket he carried on a table and
opened it.

I have a bunch of blue flewere here,’
he said, taking them from. the basket.
‘That will just suit your golden hair, Miss
and he held them before Jenny.

‘It was my sister who wished to look
at your flowers,’ said Jenny, quietly.

‘Yes, bring them here,’ was Laura’s
imperious command. <

The Old man’s eyes followed Jenny, as
she washed, wiped and put away the
dishes, swept the room and dusted it, and
then out down by Laura, who was still
looking over the basket.

‘See, Jenny, this scarlet bunch. Will
it not be lovely with a few dark leaves to
wear with my new silk ?’

‘But,’ whispered Jeufiy, ‘you can’t af-
ford it just uow.’

‘Yes I can. Father gave me some mon-
ey yesterday.’

‘To pay the last dry goods bill.’

‘Well, 1 can have that carried to my
private account.’

‘Oh-l Laura, I hate to hear you talk
of that private account; it seems so much
like cheating father.

‘Nonsenae 3 It will stand till I am
married, and then I can easily save it out

- of my house-keeping money.’

‘I should not wish to marry in debt,’
said Jenny. ‘ _ 7
The old pod!!! looked «shortly ant-the

 

lam

foot on the mantel-piece, "when is the;

You had better take this blue bunch,
Miss,’ he said to Jenny. ‘If it ain’t con-
venient to pay now, I will call ag'ain.’

‘No. I shall not take them.’

‘They-are very becoming, Miss. Look
in this glass.’

‘1 wish my hair was light,’ said Laura
‘1 should like to wear blue. Godfrey
Horton said last night that forget-ine-
note were his favorite flowers.’

Jenny colored, and, placing the bane
again in the basket, said, ~

‘Comc, Laura, decide. You arckcep-
ing one whose time probably is valuable
and then passing a chair, said, ‘Bo seat-
ed, sir, you look tired.’ ‘

‘I Im tired, indeed,’ was the reply.

‘I will take the scarlet bunch, and
these red carnelian,- and this white clus-
ter,’ said Laura.

‘But sister, you cannot afi'ord it.’

‘Yes I can. Godfrey Horton is rich.’

The old man hit his lip.

'Think,’ saiaeuny, in a low tone, ‘if
you love him, how much it will grieve
him if he should discover this deceit.’

‘Non‘sensel Well, I’ll tell you how to
remedy it. Lend me some out of the
housekeeping funds.’

‘So, thought the old man, ‘she is house
keeper. Miss Laura always gave me to
understand that was her post.

‘Laura 1 Steal from my father l’

‘Thers don’t proach.’

‘Miss Jenny,’ laid a servant, entering
at that moment, ‘the dinner has come.’

Jenny left the room, and Laura still
turned over the gay fiowcrs,. while the
old man pointed out their various beau-
ties; his eye in the meantime, running
over her disordered hair, shabby dress
and lazy position, whilst be mentally cou-
trasted them with Jenny’s neat attire.
‘Not decided yet ?’ said Jenny. re-
turning after a short absceuco.

No, Come here.’

‘I can’t. Father has sent home a
calf’s head, and I am afraid to trust it
entirely to Margaret. I must superin—
tend the dinner, make a pudding, End
the putts must be dusted, and there is
my white mull to be finished.’

Before I would be the drudge you are
cried Laura.

‘Drudge? nonsense! I have plenty of
time for enjoyment, and father cannot
have a comfortable house, if some one
does not superintend these things. When
I marry you may do it,’ and she laugh—
ed merrily.

‘As if I should not marry first.’ said
Laura. ‘There, I have chosen all I
want.’

‘Shall I call again for the change 2’
said the peddler. 1 shall be happy to
put the Misses Somers on my list of cue.

' tomers.’

‘Yes, call again.’

So the peddler took up his basket,
walked home, threw aside his wig, beard
and disguise, and wrote an offer of his
hand and heart to Miss Virginia Somers
which was accepted.

Laura Senate has two sources of pro
found speculation. One is, ‘Why did
Godfrey Horton propose to Jenny instead
of me?’ The other, ‘I wonder why that
old man never called to be paid for those
exquisite flowers 2'

come to be cured and then go away
again. Neither isit a make-believe baby,
made of rags and stufl'ed with bran, or of
wax, or India rubber. But it is a mic
baby—just- as much alive ‘ as a little
young kitten, or a little calf is alive.
It can double up its fists and scratch
its chin as well as anybody in the world;
and it can wink and cry and kick. Iti
has some little brown hair, and some lit-
tle blue eyes, and a little white frock,
and a darling wbrsted little lack—and
every way it is a nice little creature.

And it is our own to keep. We can
watch it as it grows, and be glad when it
learns to laugh, and to sit on the floor,
and to tumble over on its back and put
its big toe in its mouth. and to stand
alone, and to walk, and to climb upon
the table, and to cut holes with “the sole

sore in its mother’s dresses.—

A “ HIT” Mrsssn ax Bunnie—A
wit ty table-talker (according to the Bos-
ten Pact) thinks that Mr. Barnum
might have made more than he did out
of the Tom Thumb marriage, cleverly as
it was managed- He might (suggests

'this ingenious speculator) “have opened

a mine of romance by playing the part
of the hard and cruel monster, who hav-
ing contracted for the seavico of the lov-
ing pair, fobrade the bans, and perhaps
shut up the little lady away from her
lover in the Museum. Then there
should have been a rescue by the gal-
lant General—flight to’Hoboken—mar-
riage by moonlight, under a person's
window—sud a triumphant return by the
ferry-boat to the foot of Canal street.
Reconciliation should have followed, and
reception at the Museum, when Barnum
would have had to employ a score of
clerks to change the greenbacks which
would have been presented at the ticket

oflce.”

. Great Heart.
Great Heart is sitting beneath a tree;
Never a horse upon earth has he;
But he sings tothe wind a hearty song,
Leaves of theoak trees rustling along;
“0ch the mountain and over .the tide,
Over the valley and on let us ride l”

There’s many a messenger riding past,

And many a skipper whose ship sails fast;
But none of them all, though he ride or rows,
Flies as free as the heartof Great Heart goes,
Freeas the eagle and hill as the tide;

“And over the valley and on let or ride !”

Many a sorrow might Great Heart know,

Thick as the oak leaves which over him
STOW ;

Many a trouble might Great Heart feel,

Close as the grass blades under his heel ;

But sorrow will never by Great Heart bide,

Singing “Over the valley and on let us ride !”

“But tell me, good fellow, where Great
Heart dwells 2”

In the wood, by the sea, in the city’s cells;
Where the Honest, the Beautiful and True
Are freeto him as they are to you;

Where the wild birds whistle and waters
glide,‘

Singing “Over the valley and on let us this 1”

Few of his fellows doth Great Heart see ;
Seldom he knows where their homes may be;
But the fays of the greenwood are still on
earth—'
To many a Great Heart they’ll yet give birth,
And thousands of voices will sing in. pride,
“All over the wide world and on let us ride 1”

To Dear Mother.
When the twilight stars are gleaming,
In the cold and distant sky,
When the chilling winds of spring
’Mid the budding branches sigh,
When the meanings of the tempest
Come up from the distant sea,
Let my name be not forgotten,
Dearest Mother think of me.

When across the quivering wire
Comes the news of victory won,

And you wait with fear and trembling
News from him thy Soldier Son,
Fear not, Mother, God will guide me,
Bloody though the strife may be ;

To his care,_0h, then confide me—
Dcarest Mother, pray for me.

When the tinted shades of twilight,
Linger round our happy home,
And the silver stars of evening,
Softly glimmer one by one;

When you gather rou nd the table,
And replace the vacant chair,

0, then, let my name be mentioned
In my Mother’s pleading prayer.

When thy woman’s intuition

Warns of danger lurking near;
When you feel the tempests power
Is enCompaSsing me here,

Then dear Mother, pray more fervent
That sumcient grace I feel,

To encounter vice more deadly

Than the foeman’s burnished steel.

0, if ’mid the din of battle

I am called upon to die,

When no loving friend is near me

To close my death dimm’d eye,

Pray dear Mother that in Heaven

When thy earthly race is run,

There among Christ’s ransomed millions
Thou may’st meet thy erring son.

The Richmond Whig on Gone-

ral McClellan.
While General McClellan was at the
head of the Potomac army the rebel jour-
nals always spoke of him with a great
pretence of admiration. They used to
assurethe world that General McClellan
was the only man they were afraid of—

 

,the only Yankee general whom they

thought to he possessed of any genius.
These opinions were often cited by Gen.
McClellan’s admirers. Now, however,
when this officer is displaced from the or-
my, and when there is no likelihood that
he will ever return to command, the rebel
journalists come out with their real opin-
ions of his merits as a military oficer :
[From the Richmond Whig, April, 21.]
“ THE LATE Groacr: B. McCerN.
“Young Napoleon is dead—dead be-
yond resurrection. In the flesh he'may
still walk the earth, but in spirit, in
power, in the hope of glory he is defunct.
It is a noteworthy fact that the ulaloos
and hullabaloos over tlp's person have

ceased in Yankeeland. Eor two or three

months after his dismissal he was the pet
object of democratic sympathy and con-I
servative sympathy ; but now even Beast
Butler has grander ovations than be.
He is no more.

“ A review of his career from the time
he claimed Rosecran’s laurels in the lit-
tle affair at Rich Mountain down to the
time of the battle of Antietam would be
instructive to the nation of liars who ac-
cepted him at his own lying valuation,
and discarded him because his falsehoods
gigantic as they were, produced no visi-
ble impression upon the rebellion. It
might also profit the Confederacy to trace
in the career of this buggort the overru-
ling power which has never failed» to dar-
ken the counsels of the wicked and to
cause all things ‘to work together for
good in behalf of the just cause. Noth~
ing is easier to prove than that the eleva-
tion. of McClellan to the position of com-
mander iu-chicf of the Yankee army was
all that was needed after the election of
Lincoln to ensure our independence.
The recital of . a few facts will show how
greatly we are: indebted to him.

“ In October, 1861, he had 180,000

 

 
 

men and the most overwhelming array of

.field artillery that had ever been seen
' upon this continent. Before him was an

army of 40,000 Confederates, occupying
LMason’s and Manson’s Hill, and defiantly
daring him to coine- out of his fortifica-

tions. The roads were good and weath-

zor splendid, he has but to advance in

. fusion.

force to géin an easy victory—so, at
least, thought hisinastcr Lincoln. But
he knew his men werecowards, and be
In afraid of his‘reputotiou. .He did
did not want to fight ; he sought merely
to push us from one position to another
by dint of enormous numbers—hence the
flank movement by way of Leesburg,
which ended so horribly, and benumbed
him with fright for three months.

“ Driven by an imperative order to ad-
vance again, in spite of the winter mud, ,
he entered the entrenched camp at Man-
assas only to find it a mass of surround-
ing ruins.

“ He shipped round to the Peninsula,
taking 112,000 men with him. Magni-
der opposed him with but 7,500 men,
kept him in check and forced him to the
use of the spade and pick, his favorite
weapons. He made siege, and in due
time occupied our deserted lines. The
battle of Wiliamsbnrg followed. His
advance was whipped by Johnson’s rear-
guard, but owing partly to the ignorance
of the‘country and to the bad handling
of some of our troops he wasenabled to~
gain enough advantage on one wing to
put some conceit into his men He ac-
knowledged, however, at one time it looked
as if the Bull Run rout would be enacted
again. ’1 .

“ After this battle an event occurred,~
which has been forgotten, but deserves to
be recalled. A Confederate surgeon, left'in.
charge of the wounded, told McClellan
that his gunboats' might possibly reach
Richmond, but that his infantry never
would. The little Napoleon smiled as if
in pity of the surgeon’s ignorance. The
surgeon told him further, that the aboli-
tionists were making a tool of him, and
that they would threw him aside, pro-
claim a general emancipation of negroes,
and put an abolitionist in his place. Mc-
Clellan replied that he was in no fear of
the abolitionists as long as he had com
mand of that army. “ But,’ he added,
“ If they do throw me aside and set the
negroes free, I shall go to Europe, and
cease to have any thing to do with this
war.” I

“ How literally the surgeon’s predic-
tions have been fullfilled ! McClellan
has been kicked out of ofiice ; the insur-
rection proclamation has been issued ;
Hooker, a pure-blooded abolitionist, has
command of the Army of the Potomac ;
and it has not been two weeks since Mc-
Clellan, in a public speech, urged the peo-
ple‘t‘o sustain Lincoln. How debased
the creature is! Why is he not in Eu-
rope, and why does he no longer live
here, except in hopes of a new appoint-
ment under the abolition despotism ?

“ Space will not permit us to follow
Young Napoleon through the narrative.
of his career. The Yankees ight have,
taken Richmond after the battle of the
Seven Pines, when our forces were in con.-
After the battle of Hanover
Court-House he might have done the
same thing. After the battle of Antie-
tam the same.

“ In the report of the battle be con-
victs himself of falsehood in the most
glaring manner. He excuses himself for
not renewing the battle the morning of
the 18th by saying his losses were so
great, and there was so much disorgani-
zation in some of the commands, that he
did not think it proper, especially as he
was sure of the arrival that day of 15,-
000 fresh men. He ‘ happens to reccol-
lect’ the return of his enemy Hooker’s
corps, viz, 35,000 men for duty, and four
days after the same corps showed 13,500.
Yet after this admission of loss and dis-
organization he closes by claiming a great
victory, with a capture of 13 guns, 39
colors, 15, 000 small arms and 6,000 pris-
oners.

“ His bombastic despatches from west-
ern Virginia secured his elevation. Ilia
reputation Was founded on lies. In lies he
towered and under lies he is lost—crushed.
How fortunate for us that he was chosen
chief of the Yankee army l With the
immense numbers at his command, an ofii-
cer of truth, enterprise and daring would
have pushed us sorely ; but he was in
awe of his dishonest reputation. His
lies made him a coward, and from the
first day to the last of his military career
he did not dare, on a single occasion, to
expose himself to fire. A mendacious,
dastardly boaster, he perished so unman-
fully that the ridiculousness of his last
moments destroys every vestige of obli‘
gation conferred by his vain-glorious pre-
tensions.” '

Houdrornnr.—Homoaopathy was in-
troduced into England about the year
1827, by Dr. Quin, who, however, did
not settle in London until about 1833.
At this moment the number of qualified
practitioners in Europe is not less than
1,000, of whom 213 reside in Britain; in
America it is believed that there cannot
be less-than 3,000 practitioners. Of the
European practitioners, 45 are professors
in universities, and 20 are court physi-

the Grand Duke of Laces, Prince Lichso
