“'It is I, Miss Trevor.”
Marie Trevor started. ,

“ Upon—'my—wordi this wee really too

Both had grown pale and then red; but

the next moment a score oflaugbing dimples
broke out around her mouth.

into the circle of her aristocratic friends; and
it was unheard-of audacity in the dress-

Maria stood heugthly silent' in the middle
of the Vroom, while Maria, mounted on a
stool to bring her nearer to Miss Trevor’s

height, put in pine here and there, and laid
little folds, and heated refinetory seoms.

“ She is pretty,” thought liar-in, amth'e

_to the _ooachmAn, as she folded the ga'y
Afghan over her silken skirts. The promised

turn in the Park must stand aside now—
Miss Trevor was anxious toimpart to others
the choice bit of gossip 'she had just gleaned.

'*' Hrs. Trevor was' dreaming over a bit of
embroidery by the fire, and Charles Trevor,

standing in the bay-window, was glancing
Vup and down the columns of the morning
paper, as Miss Maria entemd. It. was a
magnificent drawing-room, with ceilings of
fresco _and gold, and carpets soft and rich as
finest moss, while plate-glass windows, hung
with massive satin draperies, let' m a soften-
ed lig'bt ; and rich pictures Vglimmered on
the wells. The Travers were not very rich,

but tbeTrevors were very worldlyund knew
exactly how to make appearances their tool.

“ But I’m not mistakenonamme. I saw her

“ Nether,” said Charles, quietly, “ I am

“ Never l"

“ It is an. honor,” returned her brother,
enroly. “ 11.11. is a jewel of the first watn.

“ not, Charles, my son,” pleaded the mo-
thcr, “we have depended so on your making

And from this position no storm of tears,
reproachings, or upbraidings could induce
him to siverve .onc hair’s-breadth. It was
not pleasant Iobe seen, this domestic whirl-
wind; but was not Ruth Murray worth it

80 Charles Trevor waited, much against
his will. .

Maria Trevor came into the drawing-roam
one evening, full charged with the fashion-
able on (11': of the day.

“ Momma, everybody is talking ebout this
Sir William Murray, who has arrived from
India. 111‘. Lacy. says he was commander-
-in-cl1ief there,

to be his sole heiress. Couldn’t we contrive
to make her Acquaintancc I Oh, if Charles
wean ’t such an infatuated madman about
this dressmaking girl I”

“ It’s the same name,” mused Mrs. Tre-
vor; “ surely they cannot be connected I”

Marla laughed contemptuously.‘

'“ General Murray connected with a dress-
maker 1 that looks likely, don’t it?”

And Mrs. Trevor owned to herself that
the idea had been a very vague and vision:
ary one.

The wedding was to be very-quiet—Roth
had insisted upon this—and asshc walked
to this church dressed in e neat gay travel-
ing guise, leaning confidently on the arm of
her future husband, a sudden memory flash-
.ed across Charles Trevor’s brain.

“ I thought . you expected an uncle,

“ He will meet us at the church, Charles.”
“ And you’ve never even told me his.

“ What i—not the General Sir William

“ I think there is but one General Sir Wil-
liam Murray,” said Both, smiling at her
lover‘s astonishment. .

- ,“ Hallo l” ejaculated Charles, stopping
short and staring down into the blue eyes—
“and are you the heiress that half the world
s gossiping about i”

“ I believe so, Charles.” -
Charles Trevor never spoke another word
until the marriage ceremony required his
voice, and hardly know whether- he was

troduoed him to the tall, white-haired old
gentleman, who had given her away, as
“Uncle William”. .

“ Young men,” said the General, “ my
niece tells me that she married you under
false pretences—do you regret the transac-.
lion 1’”

“ Not a bit of it,” said Charles, heartily,
“ I don’t care whether she's dressmaker or
heiress as long as she’s my own dear. little
Ruth.” '
“ It was her own caprice," said the vet-
eran, laughing. “ The fact is, Ruth was so
afraid of becoming a victim to some devour-

“ That she became a dress-maker in self-
defense,”' said Ruth, finishing her 'uucle’s
sentence for him.“ Kate Werdley and Miss
Mackenzie—who had once been mymother's
maid—were alone cognizant of my secret ,
and they have kept it well. Now it is no
longer a'sec'ret. “ 0h, Charley, how I trem-
bled that night' at Wardley Place, lest you
should withdraw your love when I told you
I was only>a dresscmaker.” '

“ I loved you, Ruth,” said honest Charles,
all unconscious that any other explanation

uncle, with eyes that said, “ Have I not won

Uncle William wiped his spectacles and
smiled, but said nothing. To him Ruth was
the dearest thing in all the world, and he
could fully sympathize with Mr. Charles
Trevor.

1115.3th welcomed her mother and
sister-in-lnw to her palace home with a
sweet fi‘auhiess and cordial welcome that
almost persuaded Marla into the belief that
she had entirely forgotten the little episode
in Miss Mackenzie’ a room; and Maria loves
dearly to talk to her fashionable moods
about “ darling little sister Ruth—the

Reynold’e M'uecilauy. .

“ He that-shutteth his lips is a men of
understanding,” says wise King Solomon, a
proverb that is true in more senses then'one.
Its wisdom in the metaphorical sense is
clearly demonstrated in actual life in a
thousand ways, and never more so than' to
the recent political campaign. But iii its
plain physical meaning it conveys a hint
well worth attention.

Several years ago, Mr. Catlin, the Indian
explorer, published a little book under the

 

stifle “ Keep Your‘lfouth Shut,” designed to

warn people against the danger of breathing
through the mouth, instead of through the
natural channels of respiration, the nostrils.
The euggestione it contained were valuable,

a people so appallingly prone to consVump-
tive disorders as ours. ‘

_ The advice is alwaye' in season, but par.
Iticulerly so when the “ chillian winds” of
winter, in our damp, constantly varying
climate invite afi‘ections of the throat and
lungs. The direct inhalation of“ raw air”
by the dolicate organs of breath, especially
if they are already slightly disordered, is cx-'
cecdiugly delehfius, irritating their sens-
tive' lining, and opening the way to serious
complications. To guard against this,
Providence has furnished the mouth with
- two of the completestff mufilers” imaginable.
No'. wrapping of tippets 0r kerobicfs can so
effectually close the mouth against the outer
._air as 'the‘ lips God hes phced at the en-V
trance of it. '

The philosophy .of breathing through the
nostrils instead of the mouth is simply this.
The mouth is a cepaoiousV orifice, and odors
no obstruction to the passage into the lungs:

gtril admits a passage long, narrow, lined
with sentinel hairs, end able by the sense of
smell todetect bedhir by its' offensive odoil
Thus in the nostril all the conditions of
whealthful breathing are provided—its oer.
rowness and length allowing the chill of the
air to be removed, its hairs stopping the
ingress of mpurifienV and its sense' or smell
giving warning of unhealthy» vapors.

' As Va pie'ce of advice in' season, then, we
repeat the admonition, “Keep your mauth

shut. ” . .

AND NEW YODK.

A brief description of some of the princi-
pal gamblers whose faces have become fam-
iliar to the experienced traveller on the roil-
road from this city to New York, and espe-
cially from-New Haven to the metropolis,
seems almost demanded. Gamblers and
pickpockets are reaping a rich harvest on
this route, despite the very persistent efforts
.of the railroad corporations to oust them ,
and nothing will make them shrink'beck so
quickly as seeing their portraits in print.
The travellerby the afternoon train, bound,
let us say, for New York, will notice, if he
enters the smoking car—which naturally' is
a business man’ s resort on a long journey—
shortly afler the train leaves New Haven, a
medium-sized, fair-looking man, about .38
years old, wearing short black whiskers
reaching under the chin and curling round
the face. He generally wears a silk hat and
dark brown broadcloth clothes. He .is nei-
ther a brilliant nor a stupid-looking indivi-
dual, his eyes alone are quite keen. He

ing glances of suspicion he gives before he
proceeds to business. He is the “stool
pigeon” for gambler number one of the
party. This man steps quickly through
the oer,- generelly at New Haven, stops a
few moments at the door, quietly and 'mod-
estly surveys the passengers. He then se-
lects a vacant scat, ifpossible in the imme-
diate vicinity of several gentlemen 'whohre
talking together, and generally mingles in
the conversation. Ere long the car door
opens'agein, and an entirely different speci-
men appears. This is gambler number
two, who has admcthing of the “ BoWery”
air about him. He has, a red, full face,

fringed about with short red hair; wears a
round top'slouch’ hat, is dressed with a gen-
eral air of carelessness, is between twenty-
five and thirty years old, under medium size,
probably weighs 140. He usually selects a
seat at some little distance from his comrade,
and interests himself with the country bays
and confident young men. Gambler num-
ber three' is not long‘ in making his appear-
31 once. ’ As he swings open thecnr door with
a nervous energy, he would almost be taken
for a banking or insurance clerk, or. some
down town book-keeper who lives fast. He
wears this year a wide and sad but, short
cutaway coat, tight pants, a bit of jewelry;
is about thirty years old, weighs perhaps
130, short' 1n stature, fit. face, with no espe-
cial distinguishing characteristic. He takes
.in the situation, whatever it may be, at 11V

glance, and gets a sent if possible in‘ the

from end of the car facing the passengers.
He looks about a few moments, then passes
through in an inquiring way.
arrives near “ stool pigeon,” and carelessly
asks him if he will play a game of cookie.

“ Stool pigeon” replies that he does not care
to play, but (turning to the victim he has
selected), “ perhaps this gentleman may,”
and generally one or two willbe coaxed into
trying a game. So gamblers two and three
take down a cuchrc-teble, and “ stool pig-
eon” loafls negligently behind. Thus the

“ m. n
The recent accounts of the failure of this

lady to obtain an interview with Gen. Grant
because she wore pantaloons, have revived

the following anecdote:

While in the army of the Potomac, in the
Summer of 1863, Dr. Walker visited the
headquarters of Colonel (afierwards General)
Samuel Carroll of the Second‘Army Corps.
Failing in all her efforts, to obtain her regul'
lar commission as surgeon in the army, and
having only permission to remain with the
troops in the capacity of nurse, the “ doctor”
was tequcntly obliged to accept the hospi-
tality of the ofilcers. 0n the occasion re-
ferred to, she plainly stated to Colonel Car-
roll her intention of tarrying at his head-
quarters a few days for the laudable purpose
of looking after the sick. Of course, the
General consented, and being 111' gallant as
he is brave, offered her Ore sole use ofbis
tent, which she accepted. 80 for so good.
Early on the morning after her arrival, a

Regiment, of Carroll’s brigade—a blufi,

honest, brave, dev'il-mey-cnrc beck-woods-

man—took a walk over to brigade bead-
quarters, and noticing the flies of Carroll’s

tent were still.tied, thought it somewhat
stringc that his commanding ofilcer, gener-
ally an early riser, should remain in bed at
so late an hour ” “ I have it,” said be,
thinking a moment; and approaching the
tent, he quickly untied the canvass doors,
winking at the some time to several staff
ofilcers who were near by, attempting to

sleeper was hidden by the bed covering, and
the ofilcer, quietly lifting at the foot of the
couch, and encircling two warm ankles with
his 'brawny paws, while he watched the
head of the bed intently to see if the sleeper
awoke, shouted at the top of his lungs as be
dragged the body completely out‘ of the bed
to the floor: “ Carroll, you lazy ones, get
up here i It’s, eight o’-—.” The rest of
the sentence was lost in a piercing scream,
such as only 8 female in distress can furnish
at short notice, arid the jolly ofiiccr, abashed
and dumbfounded, bounded il‘om the tent
like a stag struck by a three-ounce bullet.

The joke was too good to keep, and the re-
suit was that every soldier 1n the Second
Corps knew the story about Colonel o—, of
the Seventh Virginia, “ pulling Dr. Mary

_ Walker out of bed.”

A vvsoxnnrrmarsk.

Wednesday night quite "e fishioneble wed-
ding was celebrated imthe Fourth District.
The bride was pretty, as all newly-married
ladies ore, and the groom was the glass of
fashion and the mould of form. A number
of invited- guests lent grace and beauty to
the occasion, and hearty congratulations
testified the good wishes of many moods,
for the happiness of the newly wedded pair.
But the hours waned rapidly, and the time
for retiring came at last, Thebride was led
by laughing bridesmaids up to her chamber
door, .But imagine their surprise when it
was openedby a lady richly and elegantly
clad in p travelling suit, and evidently
waiting for an interview. ' ,
“ I, beg pardon, madam but you appear
astonished,” said the strange lady.
“ I' must confess I did not expect to see
any one here,” repliedthc bride.
‘f No, madam; I came in very privately,
and wished an interview, subject to no in-
terruption. "
It did not occur to the bridetoinquirc
by whom she had been introduced, or by

endisimmensely rich; more- might be taken for a country schoolmaster what means she had gained access to her
and 1'“ niece' 1’ or village lawyer, were it not for the search- apartment "

“ It is very strange, mom, and I can ’t
imagine why you wish to speak to me i”

“ The reason is simple. The man you
have just married has imposed upon you. I
am his wife !”

“ 0h! impossible—you rave, and the lady
sank into a chair almost fainting Of course
the bridésmaids screamed, Such a succes-
sion of shrieks one has rarely hear-11.11
speedily brought the fann‘lyV to the door with
terror-stricken faces, and with them " the
bridegroom, all asking with trembling lips:
“ What in the world is the matter I”

“ 0h, Edward,” cried the bride, “ this
person says she’s your wife.”

“ My wife !" shouted the astonished hus-
band; “ why, she’s' means.”

The strange lady stood up calm and un-
ruflled.

“ Is it possiblc,sir, that having perpetrated
this great wickedness, you will have the
herdihood to deny that I am your lawfully
wedded wife i," she agked, looking the sorely ‘
troubled Edward full in the 'eye.

“ Why, confound you, woman ! I never
saw you before‘ In my life l” exclaimed the
astonished man.

The lady regarded him very much as a
minister would a. person given over to total
depravity,

“ Oh! Edward, I’m afraid it’s true! and
I loved you so,” sobe the young wife ;
“ how could you have treated me so 1”

“ I tell you I haven’t got any wife but.
you ; this Woman is an impostor.”

The strange lady uttered a. low, mocking
laugh. The scene was getting interesting
to the last degree. The ladies were all cry-
ing, and the father of the bride looking
stern and indignant He lied been for some
time intently regardingthc strange lady,
when suddenly his eyeelighted up, and an
amused smile played upon his lips. He
took a step forward, and layinghis hand on

but it’s time it was over,” and following the
implied of his arm the stranger was pushed
into the hall.

“ John—who—what i” all exclaimed at

“ BEHOID now GOOD AND PLEASANT."
No doubt scores and hundreds of churches
have been established, as 11 second stage in
religious advancement, where the first stage
is a Sunday --school. A communication from

_a missionary of the American Sunday-school

Union mentions some such cases. He says
of one place: “ Some years ago a. Sunday-
school was organized in 21 double com-crib,
and sustained for along time by a Baptist

m”. Dr. Mm Walker in an Awkerd gentleman and Presbyterian lady. After-

ward preaching was begun and a Methodist

church was established, composed of the

members of this school. A Moravian church

has since been formed. In 1855 I organized

a Sunday-school in 0—, Iowa. In gather-

ing the children and a few dollars for a li-

brary, I found eight members of Congrega-

tional and Presbyterian churches,' and got

them engaged in. the enterprise. After a

time preaching was established in connec-

tion with the school. This was the founde.
tion of what is now known as the D—
Congregationai church, at a division-station
of the N. W. R. R. In C—, a new rail-
road station in Illinois, a Sunday-school
was started ; and by the faithful labor: of a
young man from Auburn, N.Y., a. very pre-
cious work of grace was experienced both in
the Church and in. the. Sunday-school. Six
united with the church from the Bible-
class, and the Sunday-school has grown
from 4010 90. In D— S. a Sunday-school
was Organized, in advance of the church, in
e carpenter’s shop, and went thenceinto a
saloon, an unfinished store-house, the dining
room of a hotel, and finally into the new
railroad depot, where it is now held. They
intend 'to organize a Congregational and
a Methodist church.__

 

How A Whooom Wo'xs: or Gunman
NELSON. —We find this army story in the
“Drawer” of Harpist-He -‘-

On one occasion, when General Nelson
was marching through the mountains of
Eastern Kentucky, we halted for the night
in a narrow valley between two mountains.
The roads were very bad, and the trains
continued coming in at all hours of the
night: The general had gone to bed—not,
however,until he had abused things in gen-
eral, as was his custom when men and
movements were not on time. A wegoner
who had just got in espied, sitting before a
camp fire, Mr. Sam OWeus, a man of tol-
ent and infinite fungwiihal, then serving as
volunteer aid on Nelson’s. stufi‘ (and at that '
moment on the stool of repentance for hav-
ing sat down on tip ‘general’s hat a little
while before). The. driver inquired of him
where he should leave his tea'm. “Just be-
yond you there,” pointing to a spot as he
spoke , “and when you have taken care of
your horses go to that tout yonder, the sec-
ond one from here, and there you will find a
big, fut man sleeping on e leunge. Wake
him up, and he will give you some hot cof-
fee. The quarter-master thought you driv-
ers would need it, and he has left him here
to attend to it, He 1s hard to wake, though;
you’ll have to grab him right tight, and give
him a good pull, thcna push, and then roll
him quick and fast, like you wouldn barrel.

He swears a good deal When he isfirstwak-
- ed up, and Will try to frighten on ewsy- ,
but just you hold on to him ti 1113' V11 fairly
awake, and he will give .up.”

The driver obeyed instructions to the let-
ter. After a firm grab, a decided pull, ands.

vigorous push, with a “roll like a barrel, "
“Come, old chop,” said he. “I .want that cof-
fee. It’s no use to swear and bluster- , t‘t’s
got to come.”

Hardly were the words uttered when Gen-
eral Nelson sprang from his couch, and the
volley. of oaths that then ensued so terrified
the poor driver that, it is said, his hair turn-

_ ed gray.
