Are the children at Home 2
Each day when the glow of sunset
Fades in the .wcstern sky,
And the wee ones, tired of playing,
Go tripping lightly by, "
I steal away from ma husband,
Asleep in his easy chair,
And watch from the open doorway
Their faces fresh andvfair. '
Alone In the dear olrlr homestead
That once was full of life,
Ringing with girlish laughter,
Echoing bOylsh strife,-
We two are waiting together;
And oft, as the shadows come,’~
With tremulous voice he calls me, -'
“It is night! are the children home 1”,
“Yes, love i” I answer himgently,
“They’re all home long ago;"f- .
And I sing, in my quivering tre‘ble, _
A song soesoft and low,
Till the old man drops to slumber,
With his head upon his hand, .
And I tell to myself the number: 4
Home in the better land.
Home, where never a sorrow .
Shall dim their eyes with IBJFSI
Where the Smile of God is on them
Through all the summer years !
I know l—yet my arms are empty,
That fondly folded seven, ’ ‘
And the mother heart within me
Is almost starved for heaven.
Some times, in the dusk of evening,
I only shut my eyes, .
And the children are all about me,
A vision from the skies;
The babies whose dimpled' fingers
. Lost the Way to my breast,
And the beautiful ones,ihe angels,
Passed to the world of the blessed.
With never a cloud upon them,
I see their radient brows:
My boys that I gave to freedom—1
The red sword sealed their vows!
In a tangled Southern forrest,
Twin brothers, bold and brave,
They fell; and the flag they died for,
Thank God i floats over their grave.
A breath and the vi siou is lifted
Away on the wings of light,
And again we two are together,
All alone in the night.
They téll me his mind in failing,
But I smile at idle fears; ,
He’s only back with the children,
In the dear and peaceful years.
And still as the summer sunset
Fades away in the west,
And the wee, ones, tired of playing,
Go trooping home to rest,
- My husband calls from his corner,
“Say, 10ch have the children come?"
And I answer, with eyes uplifed,
“Yes, dear! they are all home.”

“Life’s Dream.”
“I am tired of life i" said a fair young girl,
As she turned from a throng away ;
“I am weary and sick of this ceaseless whirl
That is wearing my life away i" .
And she mused awhile on life's chaugin
scene,
.That seemed to her new but a troubled
dream,
With lasting joy or happiness given,
But changing and fleeting as cloud at Even.
' I‘I am tired of‘life !" said u new-made bride
As she gazed on the glittering train,
“I have every joy that wealth can provide—
Evcry wish is fulfilled-in vain 1"
And she stole away from the hall of light,
For all o‘er her heart seemed gathering night,
And bowed her in grief,‘mid her rich array,
And wept, while she prayed for a brighter
day. '
“I am tired of life i" said a haggard youth,
As he toiled at the midnight hour;
“I labored in vain, and toiled—’tis truth ;
But, as ever, will fortune lower.”
And he rose from his corner, so cold and
. damp, .
'thre oft he had toiled by the midnight
lamp. .

Where years agone, he had sat in his pride ;
And he sighedfor the loved ones gonebefore 0

a‘The Hartford Courant tells the story
of a queer case of revenge: A singular case
matrimonial infelicity is reported on Village

himself upon the hot cooking stove, “accou-

FROM PALEsTrNE,—“Mark Twain" writes
from a place in the Holy Land'as follows:—
The real name of this place is Ccsarea
Phillippi but I call it Baldwinsville because
it sounds better and I can recollect it easier.
One 01' the great drawbacks to this country
is its distressing, names, that nobody can get
the hang of. You may travel here a month.
and when you get through you cannot tell
where you have been, to save your life, un-
less you are .. living, breathing geography.
You may make a stagger of pronouncing
these names, but they will bring any Chris-
tian to grief that-tries to spell them. I have
an idea that if I can only simplify the hem.
enclature of this country, it will be of the
greatest service to Americans whomay travel
here in the future. Galilee is well enough.
I don‘t propose to change that, but I can't
accept of Cesarea Phillippl—it uses up too
much alphabet, and there is very little music
in it, any how. Baldwinsville ismuch better.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIEB.
“Good morning, Mrs. Barnet," cried Docs
tor Singletary, asv‘ve drew nears neat farm-
house during One of our morning drives.
A tall, healthy young woman, in the bloom
of matrouly beauty, was feeding chickens at
the door. She uttered an exclamation of de-
light, and hurried towards us. Percivinga
stranger in the wagon she paused,-with a look
of embarrassment.
“My friend, who is spending a few weeks
with me," explained the doctor.
She greeted me civilly, and pressed the
doctor’s hand warmly.
“Oh, it is so long since you have called on
us that we have been talking of goingvup to
see you, as soon as Robert can get away from
his cornfield. You don’t know how little
Lucy has grown lately. You must stop and
gee her." '
“She’s coming to see me herself,” replied
the Doctor, beckoning to a sweet, blue-eyed
child in the. doorway.
j The delighted mother caught up her dar-
ling and held her before the Doctor...
“Doesn't she look like Robert 1" she in-
quired. “His very eyes and forehead; bless
me, here he is now.”
A stout, hale, young farmer, in it checked
frock and brown straw hat, came up from
the adjoining field.
“Well, Robert," said the Doctor, “how do
matters stand with you? Well I hope.” . ’
“All right, Doctor. We’ve paid off the
last cent of the mortgage and the farm is all
free and clear. Julia and I have worked
hard, but we’re none the worst for it."
“You look well and happy, I aiii sure,” au-
swered the Doctor. “I don’t think you are
sorry you took the advice of an old bachelor,
gfter all."
The young wife’s head dropped until her
lips touched those of her child. '
“Sorry i" exclaimed her husband—“not we
If there's anybody happier than we are with-
in ten miles of us, I don't know them. Doc-
~ior. I‘lltcllyou what I said to Julia the
night I brought home that mortgage; well,
said I, that dcbt's paid, but there's one debt
we can never pay as long as welive. ‘I know
-it,’ says she, ‘but Dr. Singlefary wants no
better reward for his kindness than to see us
live happily together, and do for others what
he has done for us.‘ " '
“Pshaw i" said the doctor, catching up his
reins and whip. “You owe me nothing.
.But I most forget my errand. Poor old wid-
ow Whiting needs a watcher to-night, and
sheinsists upon having Julia Barnet, and
nobody else. What shall I tell her 1"
“I'll go instantly. I can leave Lucy now
as well as not.”
“Good bye, neighbors."
“Good bye Doctor.”
As I drove off, I saw the Doctor draw his
hand hastily across his eyes, and he said no-
thing for some minutes.
“Public opinion," said he at length, as if
pursuing his meditations aloud,“Public opin-
ion is, nine cases out of ten, public folly and
impertinencc, We are slaves to one another
—we dare not take counsel of our consciences
and affections. bill. must needs suffer popular
prejudice and custom to decide for us, and at
their bidding are sacrificing love and friend-
ship, all the best hopes of our lives. We do
not ask what is right and best for us, but
what will folks say to it. How few dare to
seek their own happiness by the lights which
God has given them, or with strength to
defy the false pride and the prejudice of the
world, and stand last in the liberty of Chris-
tians. Can anything be more'pitiable than
the sight of so many who should be choosers
and creators under God oftheir own spheres
-. of utility and happiness, self degraded into
mere slaves of propriety and custom—their
true naturegundevelopcdnheir hearts cramp-
ed and shut up, each afraid of his neighbor,
and his neighbor of him, living a life of un-
reality, deceiving and being deceived, and
forever walking in a vain show 1’ Here, now,
we have just left a married couple who are
happy because they have taken counsel-of
their honest affections, rather than of the
opinions of the multitude, and have dared to
be true to themselves in defiance of importi-
uent gossip."
“You allude to young farmer Barnet and
his wife, I suppose,” said I.
“Yes. I will give you their cases as an il -
lustratiou. Julia Atkins was the daughter
of Ensign Atkins, who lived on the mill road
- just above Deacon Warner’s. When she was
ten years old her mother died; and in a few
months afterwards her father married Pony
Wiggins, the tailor-ass, a selfish, shrewd mau-
agiug woman. Julia, poor girl, had a hard
time of it; for the Ensign, although a kind
and affectionate man naturally, was too weak
and yielding to interpose between her and
his strong-minded and sharp-tongued wife.
She had One friend, however, who was al-
ways ready to sympathize with her. Robert
Baruet was the son of the next door neigh-
bor,about ten years older than herself. They
had grown up together as school companions
and playmates; and often in my drives I
used to meet them, coming home hand in
band from school, or from the woods with
berries and nuts, talking and laughing as if
there were no scolding stepmothers in the
world. .
It so happened that when J ulia was in her
seventeetb year, there came a famous writing
master to Pecawkin. He was a showy, dash-
ing fellow, with'a fashionable dress, a wick-
ed eye, aud a tongue like the old serpeut’s
which tempting our grandmother. Julia
was one of his scholars, and perhaps the pret-
tiest of them all. The rascal singled her out
from the first, and, the better to accOmplish
his purpose be left the tavern and took lodg-
ings at the Ensign's. He soon saw how mat-
ters stood in the family, and governed him-
self accordingly, taking especial pains to con-
ciliate the ruling authority. The Ensign's
wife hated young Barnet, and wished to get
rid of her daughter-iu~law. The writing-
master therefore had a fair field. He flatter-
ed the poor girl by his attentions, and praised
her beauty. Her moral training had not fit-
ted her to withstand this seductive‘iufiuence;
no mother's love, with its quick, instinctive
sense of danger threatening its object, inter-
posed betweeu her and the tempter. Her
old friend and playmate-he who could alone
save her-had been rudely repulsed from the
house by her mother-in-law; and indignant
and disgusted he retired from_ all competition
with his formidable rival. Thus abandoned
to her own undisciplined imagination, with
the inexperience of a child and the passions
of a wOmsn, she was deceived by false pre-
tenses, bewrldered, fascinated, and beguiled
into sin.
It is the same old story of woman's confi-
dence and man‘s duplicity. The rascally
writing master, under pretence of visiting a
neighboring town, left his lodgings and never
returned. The last I heard of him he was
the tenant of a Western penitentiary. Poor
Julia, driven in disgrace from her father’s
house at last found refuge in the dwelling of
an old woman of no very creditable charac-
ter. There-I was called to-visit her; and al-
though not unused to scenes of suffering and
sorrow, I had never before witnessed such an
utter abandonment of grief, shame, and re-
morse. Alas! what sorrow was like unto
hsr sorrow. The birth hourof her infant
was the hour also of its death.
THE DOCTOB’S MATCH-MAKE? '
The agony of her spirit seemed greater
than she could bear. Her eyes Were opened.
and she looked upon herself with loathing
and horror. She would idmit of no hope, no
consolation; she would listen to no palliation
or excuse for her guilt. I could only direct
her to that source of pardon and peace to
which the broken and eontrite heart
never appeals in vain.
In the mean time Robert Barnet shipped
on board a Lgbrador vessel. The night be-
fore he left he called on me, and put hi my
band a sum of money, small indeed, but all
he could then command.
“You will see her often,” he said, “do not
let her suffer, for she is more to be pitied
than blamed.”
I told him further that I would do all in my
power for her, and added that I thought
for better of her, contrite and penitent as she
was, than of some who were busy in holding
her up to shame d censure.
“God bless yogi: these words i" he said,
grasping my hand. I shall think of them of- 4
tea. They will be a comfort to me."
As for Julia, God was more merciful to her
than v man.” She rose from her, sick bed
thoughtful and humbled, but with hopes
which transcended the world of her suffering
and shame. She no longer murmured against
her sorrowful allotment, but accepted it with
quiet and aim )st cheerful resignation, as the
fitting penalty of God’s broken laws, and the
needed discipline of her spirit. She could
say with the Psalmist: "The judgments of
the Lord are true, and thy judgment is right."
Through her exertions she obtained ahome
in a respectable family to whom she endeared
herself by her faithfulness, cheerful obedience
and unaffected piety. Her trials had made
her hearf'tender with sympathy for all in at-
fliction. .
She seemed inevitably drawn towards the
sick and suffering. In their presence the
burden of her own sorrow seemed to fall off.
She was the most cheerful and sunny faced
nursel ever knew; and I always felt sure
that my own efforts would be well seconded
when I found her by the bedside of a patient.
Beautiful it was to see this poor young girl,
whom the world still looked upon with scorn
and unkindness, cheering the desponding,
and imparting as it were, her own strong
healthful life to the weak and faint; support-
ing on her bosom, through weary nights, the
heads of those who, while in health, would
have deemed her touch pollution, or to hear
her singing for the ear of the dying, some
sweet hymn of hope or resignation, or calling
to mind the consolations of the gospel and
the great love of Christ. ‘
“I trust," said I, “that the feelings of the
community were softened toward her."
“You-know what human nature is,” replied
the doctor—“and with what hearty satisfac-
tion we abhor and censure folly and sin in
others. It is a luxury which we cannot easi-
ly forego, although our own experience tells
us that the consequences of vice and error
are bitter enough without the aggravation of
reproach and ridicule from wiihéut. So you
need not be surprised to learn that in poor
J ulia’s case, the charity of sinners like herself
did not keep pace with the mercy and for-
giveness of Him who is infinite in purity.
Nevertheless, I will do our people the justice
to say that her blameless and self-sacrificing
life was not without its proper efiect upon
them."
“What became of Robert Barnet ?"
quired.
“He came after an absence of several
months. and called on me before he had even
seen his father and mother. ‘ He did not
mention J ulia, but I saw that his errand with
me concerned her. I spoke of her excellent
deportment and useful life, dwelt upon the
extenuating circumstances of her crror,.and
of her sincere and hearty repentance.”
“Doctor," said he, at length, with a hesita-
ting and embarrassed manner, “what would‘
you think if I should tell you that, after all
that has passed, I have half made up my
mind to ask her to become my wife ?"
“ I should think better of it if you had
wholly made up your mind," said I. "And
if you were my son, I would not ask for you
a better wife than J ulia Atkins. Don't besi-
tate, on account of what some ill-natured
people will say. Consult your own heart first
of all."
“I don't care fore the talk of all the busy-
bodies in town,” he said; “but I wish that
father and mother could feel as you do about
her.” . _
“Leave that to me.” said I' “the are kind-
. Y
hearted and reasonable, and I dare say will
be disposed to make the best of the matter,
when they find you are decided in purpose.”
I did not see him again, but a few days
after I learned from his parents that he had
gone on another voyage. It was now an.
tame and the most sickly season I had ever
known in Peoawkin. ' Ensign Atkins and his
wife both fell sick, and Julia embraced with
alacrity this providentiai opportunity to re-
turn to her father's house, and fulfil the duties
of a daughter. Under her careful nursing
thp Ensign soon got upon his feet; but his
wife, whose constitution was weaker, sunk
under the fever. She died better than she
lived, penitent and loving, asking forgiveness
ofJuiia'for her neglect and unkindness, and
invoking blessings on her head. Julia had
now, for the first time since the death of her
mother, a comfortable home and a father’s
love and protection. Her sweetness of tem-
per, patient endurance, and forgetfulness of
herself in her labors for others, gradually
overcame the scruples and hard feelings of
her neighbors. They began to question
whether, after all, it was meritorious in them
to treat one like her as a sinner beyond for-
giveness. Elder Staples and Deacon War-
ner were 'her fast friends. The deacon's
daughter—the tall, blue eyed, brown-locked
girl you noticed at church the other day—set
the example among the young people of
treating her as their equal and companion.
Ono midwinter evening I took Julia with
me to a sick patient of mine, who was suffer-
ing for lack of attendance. The house where
she lived was in a lonely and desolate place,
some two or three miles below us, on a sandy
level, just elevated above the great salt
marshes, stretching far away to the sea. The
night set in dark and stormy. The fierce
north-easterly wind swept over the level
waste, driving thick snow clouds before it,
shaking the doors and windows of the old
house, and roaring in its vast chimfiey. The
woman was dying when we arrived, and her
drunken husband was sitting in stupid un-
concern in the corner of the fire place. A
little after midnight she breathed her last.
In the meantime the storm had ‘grown
more violent; there was a blinding snow fal-
ling in the air, and we could feel the jar of
the great waves as they broke upon the
beach. -
“It is a terrible night for sailors on the
coast," I said, breaking our long silence with
the dead. “God grant them sea-room 1“
Julia shuddered as I spoke, and by the
dim flashing fire light, Isaw her weeping. I
knew her thoughts were with her old friend
and playmate on the wide waters.
“Julia," said I, “do you know that Robert
Burnet loves you with all the strength of an
honest and true heart ‘3"
She trembled, and her voice {altered as she
confessed that, when Robert was at home, he
had asked her to become his wife.
“And like a fool, you refused him, I sup-
I in-
“Oh, doctor,” she exclaimed, "how can you
talk so? It is just because Robert is so good
and noble and generous, that I dare not take
him at his word. You, doctor, would have
despised me if I had taken advantage oihis
pity, or his kind remembrance of the old days
when we were children together. I have al-
ready brought too much disgrace upon those
dear to me." I was endeavoring to convince
her, in reply, that she was doing injustice to
herself, and wrongiug her best friend, whose
happiness depended, in a great measure,upon
her, when, borne upon the strong blast, we
both heard a faint cry, as of a human being
in distress. I threw up the window, which
opened seaward, and we learned out into the
wild night, and listened breathlessly for the
sound.
Once more, and once only we heard it a
low, smothered, despairing cry.
“Some one is lost. and pcrishing in the
snow," said Julia. “The sound comes in the
direction of ihe beach-plum bushes on the
side of the marsh. Let us go at once."
She snatched up her hood and shawl, and
was already at the door. I found and light
ed a lantern, and soon overtook her. The
snow was already deep and badly drifted,
and it was with extreme difficulty that we
could force our way against the storm. We
stopped often to breathe and listen; but the
roaring of the wind and waves was alone
audible. At last we reached a slightly eleva-
ted spot, over grown with dwarf plum trees,
whose branches were dimly visible above
the snow.
“‘Hcre, bring the lantern here i" cried Julia
who had strayed a few yards from me. I
hastened to her, and found her lifting up the
body of a man who was apparently insensi-
ble. Thexays from the lantern fell upon his
face, and we both, at the same instant, recog-
nized—Robert Barnet. Julia neither shriek-
ed nor fainted; but, kneeling in the snow,
and still supporting the, body, she turned to-
ward me a look of earnest and fearful in-
quiry.
“Courage,” said I, “he still lives. He is
only overcome with fatigue and cold."
With much difficulty, partly carrying and
partly dragging him through the snow we
succeeded in getting him to the house, where
in a short time he so far recovered as to be
able to speak. Julia, who had been my
prompt and efficient assistant in his restora-
tion, retired into the shadow of the room as
soon as he began to rouse himself and look
about him. He asked where he was, and
who was with me, saying that his I1( ad was
so confused he thought he saw Julia Atkins
by the bedside. “You are not mistaken,"
said I; “J aim is here, and you owe your life
to her. He startedup, and gazed around the
room. “I beckoned Julia to the bedside, and
I never shall forget the grateful earnestness
with which be grasped her by the hand, and
called upon God to bless her. Some folks
think me a tough-hearted old fellow, and so
I am; but that scene was more than I could
bear without shedding tears. Robert told us
that his vessel had been thrown upon the
beach a mile or two below, and he feared that
all the crew had perished save himself.
Assured of his safety, Ilwent out once more
in the faint hope of hearing the voice of some
survivor of the disaster; but I listened only
to the heavy thunder of the surf, rolling
along the horizon of the east. The storm
had in a great measure ceased. the gray light
of dawn was just visible, and I was gratified
to see two of the nearest neighbors approach-
ing the house. On being informed of the
wreck, they immediately started for the
beach, where several dead bodies, half buried
in snow, confirmed the fears of the solitary
survivor. '
The result of all this you can easily con-
jecture. Robert Barnet abandoned the sea,
and, with the aid of his friends, purchased
the farm where he now lives and the anni-
versary of the shipwreck found him the bus-
band of Julia. I can assure you I have‘had
every reason to congratulate myself on my
share in the match making. Nobody ven-
tured to find fault with it, except two or three
sour old busybadies, who, as Elder Staples
well says, “would have cursed her whom
Christ had forgiven, and spurned the weep
iug Magdalene from the foot of the Lord."

HORACE GREELY as A PniLosornm—A
c orrcspondent relates this incident :
Not long ago a politician entered the pri-
vate ofilce of the editor of the Tribune, in a
great state of indignation at some article
Greeley had written. .H. G. was sitting at
his desk scratching away, and, though, vio-
lently accosted, never looked up. The Irate
politician roared out “Horace Greeley, I
charge you with betraying the best interests
of your party. You are a secret foe to radi-
calism. ' You do us more harm than you do
good. Confound it, if you’d go over to the
Democrats, bOdy and soul, it would be the

Here he paused again for breath, as he
had several times before, expecting H. G. to
make some defense, or a: least reply to the
ferocious charges, But be was disappointed.
The veteran journalist remained at his desk
apparently unconcerned, still scribbling at
his editorial. The politician attempted to
give vent to another burst of indignation,
but he was so mad he could not speak. and
after a splatter of epithets hurried to the
door.
The philosopher then lifted his head for

MussnsEDmas :—-As I have written you
several times, upon difi'erent subjects, you

using for my writing-desk, the crown of my

in my life aJewish wedding, and I beg to go

some doubtless have never attended one, or
heard how the ceremony is performed.

took my seat and in a few moments the
bridal party appeared. The bride was
dressed in light, yellow, not white, the reason
given me at this moment by her brother (of
whom I enquired) that the Jewish ladies
are generally dark complected, and some
other shade than white becomes them better.
The altar, pulpit and surroundings were
draped with white, and two priests with
black velvet octagon caps, rose to meet the
couple as they advanced with their attend.
ants. The ceremony was the some as in
Christian Churches, save the vows were
pledged With wine on several occasions,
handed around to them with due form by
the attendants. The time taken up in the
service was about three quarters of an hour,
when all the parties took carriages and pro-
ceeded to a large hall, where a regular din-
ner was served, consisting of some seven
courses of meats and fowls. No butter was
used, and wine was exceedingly plenty;.I
counted on the table at which I sat, twenty-
three (23) bottles. The meal lasted two
hours, when followed friendly conxersation
by all. ‘ _
I noticed one very praisewortby occur-
rence, asubscription was circulated during
the time that dinner was going on, for the
benefit of an indigent brother, as many un-
der the influence of convivslity, (by no means
' were there any cases of intoxication, in the
least), yet when they were merry they were
more disposed to be liberal.
The chatting, ' intespersed with short
speeches, lasted for several hours, then all
separated to meet again a few hours later,
when dancing commenced, and had been go-
ing on for some time when I came into the
room and begun the article that I am new
writing, and while I was doing so, the bridal
party were presented with some silver plate
—by a nice little speech from some of the young
men, which was briefly and pleasantly re-
sponded to by the groom. Then the music
and dancing began again. As while I now
pause, I look up to see one of the happiest
parties ever assembled, so far I am able to
judge;by appearances. Later in the evening;
sumptuous supper was served, when the
dancing continued. '
Although an invited guest, I have taken
no part in the entertainments, yet have en-
joyed being present on so happy an occasion
of which I will carry agreeable recollections
with me for many years yet to come, I hope.

The way they do It In Chicago.
The infelicities and frequent separations
of the married at Chicago, seem to have
caused a horror of matrimony among the
bachelor fraternity in that city, which is
well illustrated by the disgraceful means ia-
ken by one Burkard, to break ofi an engage-
ment made when he was drunk. He told
his own story in the court, where he appear-
ed to have the “big brothers” of his lately
afiianced one put under bonds to keep the
peace towards him :—
‘Until a week ago, your honor, I was en-
gaged to be married to Sally, the sister of-
‘ihe prisoners. I will not speak ill of her,
though'we are enemies now, for it was ow-
ing to my engagement that I took the pledge
and am a sober man. You see I was dmuk
when I proposed and was accepted. That
showed me to what liquor could bring a
man, I at once took the pledge. I was en-
gagcd to her for three months, and during
that time I did my duty. I visited her dai'
ly, took her to places of amusement, and
told her sweet lies. ' In fact I did every-
thing rcquired, except to name the marriage
day. In that I procrastinated. I told her
she did not know me well enough yet, and
the weather was too warm, that she had bet-
ter wait until the cholera Jensen was over
but it did no good. She insisted that we
should be married at once; she had sworn
that she would be married before Mary
B , and she would be. I became des.
perate. I had no intention of marrying her
or any one else. I know what matrimony
is; I have been whipped by my father be-
cause my mother had happened to caressme.
Not knowing what elseto do, I pretended to
be drunk when visiting Sally eight days ago.
She had some friends with her in the parlor,
and that pleased me. I kissed her and tried
to kiss them, male and female. Then I told
her in a hiecoughy way that I had been un-
able to get the false hair and p'alpitating
bosom she wished; that they cost too much.
That did it. Indignaut at thus apparently
having her dearest secrets exposed to the
young ladies and gentlemen there, she angri.
ly told me to go; that I must never come
near her again. Believe me, Judge,I was
happy to hear it, and left at once. I did not
visit her, and three days afterward I received
a note from her, telling me she was sick and
wished to see me. Not being a doctor I
stayed away. The next day I rewind. a
similar note; my answer was the same.
Then I received a note telling me I was a
failnlcss brute and a cruel wretch. That
she had two big brothers (I knew it,) and
that they would avenge her wounded honor
and broken heart by beating me. I believed
her, and I have carefully avoided the big
brothers; I am a law-abiding young man
and do not wish to fight. They have been
to see me eight times already; I made the
servant tell a lie—may God forgive inc—and
say I was out. But I know they will catch
me, and then I shall feel very bad. To pre-
vent that I have had them arrested. I wish
them bound over to keep the peace ; they
can also keep their sister Sally. They have
said they will kill me.”
The Judge answered : .
“You were right to have them arrested
They must each give bonds in the .sum of
$500 to keep the peace. As for you sir, your
conduct has been disgraceful. The name of
my first love was Sally, and no one shall
go back on a girlof that‘ name. You are
fined $15.
