TALES AND SKETCHES.

; "Do you think she will come to-day I" j
It was the fraction of a man who asked I
tuia qucauun. lie lay aireiuiiL-u upuu m
soldier's cot, in tlie Seminary Hospital,
Georgetown, A fw houra helore tliu sin- ;
iteont bad amputated his riht lt-g above j

"Coming, did yon soy ?"
"The train i due now. I'll eitnl a man
to the depot there shall he no delay. Keep
your spirits, Cap. There is nothing tteriout
iu your case w e hope."
"There la something serious in my case,
doctor, and I want to see my muthor. . You
did not know that aiy mother is a idow
has been this many u year, nnd I am the
oldest hoy. Mother and I brought up the
family so far, and and "
"See here, Clip., I shall not let you get
excited. You must be kept perfectly quiet.
I forbid these thoughts. If you knew how
long it took me to tie up tlu-se arteries the
least excitement and my work goes for no
thing. It would be a benefit to the service
if they would pass a law prevention every
body from visiting the hospital until the pa
tient is out of danger. I've seen men killed
in half an hour by the excitement of meet
ing old faces."
"Have jou never seen men restored, doc
tor I"
"Nut when there Is any danger of burst
ing arteries. I'll tell you what, Cap., a few
spirts, while I can count one, two, three,
four, five, and all is over."
"You don't think I'm in anyguch danger."
"Not with proper care, aud you don't fet
excited over thia meeliug. I wish it was
over."
"I won't sec her if you think it best. I
want to live, doctor. I have a great deal to
live for. I atn willing to follow your ad
vice God knows. Only get rue on my feet
again on my foot I should say" and a sha
dow of a smile Qitted over his countenance."
"We will see what is best, Captuiu ; but
I'm now going to leave you, only long enough
to get some dinner and welcome your mo
ther." "God bless you doctor 1"
"There again, Cap., you are in such an ex
citable state ; though this meeting may have
just tbe opposite ettect from whnt we usu
ally expect. At any rate, your mother shall
be within culling, and if her boy behaves "
The captain wearily closed his eyes ns I
felt his throbbing pulse.
An experienced nurse took a chair by the
patient, with orders to watch tho leust sha
dow of a chance. I then descended the
stairs, aud whs about to pass into the din
ing room when a soldier informed me "that
a lady was in tho oliice inquiring for Mr.
M ."
"So site has come," I mentally exclaimed;
"God grant she may not be the means of Lis
death."
I went hastily into the oliice. No middle
aged matron there only a little pale-laced
girl in a dusty traveling dress. There must
be some mistake.
"Did any ouc call for Dr. M ?"
"Aro you Dr. M 1' She approached
me just like a child, and held up two little
white hands, like one sinking in the water.
"Is he going to die I mean is Captain
O very dangerously wounded I"
"Captain G ia in a very dangerous
coudition."
"Could I see him t"
"Are you his. sister?"
In ao instant a flush covered her pale face.
In her agony she had thought only of hitn.
She looked in my face as she drew aside the
veil that covers tho human heart.
"I am bis betrothed wife. His mother is
ill ; she could not come to him; she snid it
was best for mo to go. I am ail alone no .
protector but him."
1 looked into tlie lace oi tins urave Utile
girl, who had scarcely crossed the thu-i-lioid
of womanhood. Not a tear dimmed liiv
lustre of her blue eyes.
"Can I see George "
What could I aay ; and liien I rt-tisoncc!
"She seems the kind of H oiuuu to go to u
sick ni tin's cot."
"Wo will see. Who shall I ted the Cap
tain has come '
"Mary in plnce of his wiiliier."
Here was a dilelnmu worse llom I antici
pated. I called tho htiid luiife of the it
mule di'partnivut, and told U'.r to chic for
Mary, adding, she had euiiie to see C'iptiiu
G . 1 then ilnjleueil to the Captain"
cot, for I had lelt him quite as lout; as I in
tended to do.'
"Has anybody come ?"
"Supposing your mother bus not come do
you think you could endure the disappoint
ment J"
"Somebody has come, doctor."
"Your mother has not come."
"But Mary has, Bring her to me doctor.
This suspense is worse than all the rest."
I felt now, it would )e useless to attempt
to reason with a man in his condition, aud
knew that safety depended upon gratifying
his every wish.
"You shall see Mary."
My pen draws a veil over the sanctity of
this meeting. Hit one was present but a
wounded comrade who occupied ao adjoin
ing cot. I stood in the hull ready to ad
vance at a moment's warning. The Captaiu
called out cheerily ; "Doctor, you see 1 cun
bear this kind of excitement. I feel like a
Dew man. Mother has the rheumatism
couldn't come; so she prevailed on Mary to
take her place. This ia my Mary, doctor.
Isn't she a brave little girl to come all the
wav to Washington aloue to hunt me up,
eb t"
Mury put her band playfully over hit
mouth, and aayt :
"I will talk for you."
He removed the pretty hand, saying:
"I have thought, doctor, sometimes I
have felt," and hi eye wandered painfully
to the place where bis shapely limb (should
have been, "that Mary might thiuk lest ol
me now that I am not aa 1 used to be."
"How could you, George t"
I shook my head at her and she under
stood my meaning.
"I see how it it," said the Captain ; "you
are all trying to spoil me by letting me have
my own way. I bave been thinking to have
Mary tor my wife now. It would bo to
much better you know, doctor. She would
then, bave the right to bo with me. Mo one
could question her presence. I cannot be
separated from ber. What time ia it doc
tor I"
"Quarter to three o'clock."
Doctor, you will arrange evurthing. With
Mtry't consent we will be married t five.

".Never, Mary; we are nevermore to be
separated, in litis life or eternity."
"Who echoed my last word t" said the
Cepliiin.
"All iiunuinury,' I replied. "Don't you
e: jour mi vei ate getting all unstrung!
You must compose yourself. Captain."
There were only three souls in the room
beside, the Contain, and we each looked
inquiringly at the other. Neither Mary, nor
the wounded soldier on his cot, nor myself
IihiI spoken. Whence came the voice ?
At live o'clock precisely the chaplain of
the hospital performed a marriage ceremony.
An accidental guest might bave mistaken
it for a funeral.
"God forbid my witnessing another such
wedding," said the surgeon in charge, an
old unmarried regular army officer. "The
woman looked like a ghost with ber white
face, Bnd the man in his winding sheet. I
never did like weddings. I'll never go to
another so long as I am above ground. See
here, priest, if you are going to have any
more such scenes leave me out, will you f
Ugh 1 it makes my teeth chatter 1 Any more
brandy left. Doc?"
After the ceremony, my patient went to
sleep, holding hia wife's band. His rest
seemed tranquil as an infant's. I arouse
very quietly and descending the stuirs, open
ed the front door, nnd stepped on the pave
ment. I bad no idea of going anywhere.
I bad that yearning for out-doors which
comes to us all at some time or another in
our lives, when it seems aa if tho whole at
mosphere under the bcavena would scarcely
suffice for breathing purposes. The thoughts
which led him hither were still revolving in
my mind, when I beard a call for help clear,
sharp, unmistukable.
Not two minutes elapsed before I found
myself at the bedside of the captain. It
was almost over. With the breaking of the
arteries every pulsation of tbe heart bad sent
just so much of the captain's life out. A
few pets of scarlet fluid and a soul floated
oil into the great mysterious unknown. In
less than three minutes from tbe time I en
tered the room the senseless form of a wo
man wat borne out of it.
"She is out of her misery at last," said the
wounded soldier, who had been obliged to
witness that which made us well men sick.
Ia three weeks from that day a sad wo
man and a gloomy looking box left Wash
ington on the tiain. When she was requested
by us surgeons to send thut first and follow
it us soon as her health was sufficiently re
stored, she said :
"No ; we will go together we must not
be separated."
As often os I look at my "hospital diary"
I am reminded of tho woman who was
maid, wife, aud widow in the space of one
day.

(Speech of Hen. Wade nt Cleveland.
Senator Wade spoke at Cleveland, Ohio,
on the 10th iust., accordiug to appointment.
A large meeting listened to him. He be
gun by haying that in bis judgement no
more important crisis in the history of our
Government hud ever existed than the pre
sent. The speaker assured the people that
as great peril ex;ss to day as w hen armed
rebels struck nt the lite of the Republic, and
ardently appealed t those who saved the
on I ion Iv their valor then, to rally to its
salvation. N one could say he had been
an .d'tnnist. Durinu the war he had never
il.i il.ti il mir ul 1 1 tunic success ; but tbe ma
chinations of the present enemies of the re
liiil'lio do nor arrest the attention, as did
the c!:imrs of war, and are so much the
tiioro iUi)o rou tor that rcuaou. He refer
red t- '.tie taut thut the rebel leaders show
no si:;ns of repeutence, but are ready to try
iioain u hen opportunity offers. Ha spoke
of the Congressional Committee which in
vestigated tliti temper and disposition of
the N'tuli, and concluded that the relnilllion
iv rite us at any time during the war.
He ?ai'l Vi reference to that stute of feeling:
"Tlie d.mger lies iu the fact, that standing
I' .i l; of th'ias who got up and carried m
the rebellion wasn large organized party at
the North, whoso sympathies wete with
them, and who gave them all the aid aud
comfort in their power. I will even say
Hint were it not lor the sympathy of the
Democratic party, there wouhl never have
been a rebellion. I knew this better than
you, who were at borne. For day after day
1 I was in close council with Jeff. Davis,
! Toombs, Benjamin, Hunter. Crittenden, ami
j others of minor note. Iu that room, where
i there were none to take notes for publica-
tion, all talked familiarly together, and
! the pluns and purpose of the South were
openly avowed. We told them that they
would bring on a war. But they said no ;
you cannot coerce a State, insisting upon
the right of State to secede. If war carries,
said Davis, tbe blow will fall upon you, and
not upon u. The North, and not the South,
will be devastated. If it comes to that, the
city of New York has agreed to go with us.
I have no doubt tbey bad an understanding
to that effect with Wood, Barlow und others,
to burl, if possible, the great Metropolis in
to the whirlpool of aeceasion. Davis also
said that Penasylvauia and Indiana would
go with them, and to support bit statement
held up defiantly the resolutions adopted
on tbe fifth of January, 1801, by Democratic
Conventions in those Statea, sending greet
ings to the leaders of secession, and pledg
ing two hundred thousand men to assist
them. One of the resolutions declared that
if any attempt was made to coerce the South,
the armies of the Government must march
over the dead bodies of tbe Democracy.
These be flauuted in my face, and told me
that even my own State would join with
them. I recollect tbe reply that I made
to him. Tbe Democracy of tha North, like
tbe Devil, will lead you into the scrape, and
then leave you there. Great laughter. Wben
it comet tu the clash of arms, not one of them
will dare to raise bit arm" in the cause of
rebellion. Again, I say that but for tbe aid
sad comfort afforded the Southern leaders
by the Democracy of the North, there would
bave been no war. 1 charge upon this great
organized party, tbe responsibility of three
hundred thousand of the now or of our youth
lying in their graves. - By tbe Democratic
party, be meant those who kept up tbe

Where was Judge Thurman when Vallandig
ham was a candidate foP Governor I He
was acting in concert with the Great Ban
ished, who was working out his sentence in
a foreign land. Mr. Thurman could not
plead ignorance in this matter. It was
known to all that Mr. Vallandigham bad
been tried by a military tribunal, under the
guidance of one ef the most upright men in
the service, who, if all reports are true, bad
be been allowed hia own way, would bave
disposed of the case in manner which
would bave prevented Mr. Vallandigham
from making treasonable speeches through
out the country. Now, Mr. Thurman was a
gentleman, in social relations ; but as fit to
be trusted with government affairs as Judas
Iscariot with religion. The Democracy
would gladly let bygones be bygones, but it
can't be done.
Here tho speaker sketched the history of
the rebellion and events leading to it. He
then said : Where wete your Democrats
when the war broke out. Its thunder awoke
the Republican party and some patriotic
Democrats, but the remainder thought it
unconstitutional to coerce a State, and think
so yet. They folded their arms and were
willing to permit an invasion of the North,
and the ultimate destruction of the Govern
ment by the rebels. They denounced every
measure enacted for tbe safety of the coun
try unconstitutional. Tbey did all in their
power to depreciate its currency, the very
sinew by which the army was equipped,
clothed, aid nnd fed, pronouncing it rags
unconstitutionally set afloat in the country.
When asked to bring forth one Constitu
tional measuro themselves for the suppres
sion of the rebellion, they were dumb; yea,
more dumb than baa I am a ass. Ihey could
not and did not do anything bnt cavil
about the measures enacted by tho Union
party. It was inconsistent for Democrats to
complain about the extent of a war they
bad helped, in extending sympathy to reb
els, by their efforts to depreciate the cur
rency, and to discourage enlistments by
sending men to Canada. Tbey swore the
debt never would be paid ; now they are
atraid U will be paid.
On the question of negro suffrage he said
it was of no practical importance ; but the
principle was of some significance. Who

suffrage, where he bears bis share of every
thing, that 'aint a Democrat f

The Euglisb papers tell of a sentimental
individual named Stanhope, who, having
become possessed with the notion that bis
wile was not bo fond ot htm as she should
bo, resolved to put her love to the test.
This ho did by hanging himself in effigy in
tlie attic, and concealed himself where he
could watch the effect of the spectacle.
Here is the sequel :
After awhile, his daughter catuo up after
a skipping rope, and caught a glimpse of
the suspended figure. She ran down tbe
stair9, screaming "Ob, mother, mother!
pappy baa bung himself." "Now for it,"
thought Felix, iu ambuscade, "we shall
have a touching scene presently." "Hung
himself," he heard Mrs. Stanhope repeat, as
she walked leisurely up stuirs, "He hasn't
got pluck enough' for such a thing or be
would bave done it loug ago. Well, I be
lieve be has done it, however," she said, as
she came in view of Felix's representative.
"Moll, (to the little girl,) I think be ought
to be cut down. You bad better go into
the kitchen and get a knife, my dear; but
don't go down too fast or you might fall
and hurt yourself. Stay, I forgot. There's
no knife in the kitchen sharp enough. You
can go round to Mr. Holmes, the shoema
ker he's only four streets off tell him to
whet it before he sends it. And, Molly,
when you are iu the neighborhood, you can
stop at Aunt Sukey's aud ask bow tbe baby
ia. And, Molly, you can slop at the gro
cer's shop, as you come bJlk, and get a
pound of sugar."
"Poor Felix 1" sighed Mrs. Stanhope,
when ber daughter had departed, "I bope
we shall get him down before tbe vital
spark'a extinct, for these buryings are very
troublesome, and cost money. He wanted
to put an end to himself, too; and I think
I ought to let hitn bave his own way for
once in hia life; be used to say that I was
always crossing bitn. I wish he hadn't
spoiled that new clothe line ; an old rope
might bave auswered his purpose." Here
voice, whielt sounded like that of tbe
supposed suicide, broke in upon Mrs. Stan
Hopes soliloquy with "You confounded
Juabel, I'll be tbe death of vou !" Mrs
Stanhope, thinking this must of course be a
ghostly exclumution, uttered a wild scream,
and attempted to escape down the narrow
staircase. Felix, starting front bis place of
couceaimect, gave chase. Mrs. Stanhope
stumbled midway on tbe flight of stairs.
aud Mr. Stanhope having just reached ber,
and made a grasp at her disheveled hair as
it streamed backward, the amiable partners
were precipitated to me oottorn togetner,
Both were badly bruised.
What Uood I-'arinins Will Do.
Dr. George B. Luring, president of the
New England Agricultural Society, in bis
receut address before that society, told some
important truths, which were aptly illustra
ted. He congratulated the country on the
fact that within the past few years tbe farm
ers bad dune to much toward utilizing tbe
inductions or the scientific theorists, and
that the latter bad so materially aided the
farmers in their practical applications of
scientific 'methods of culture. He claimed
that New England was destined to become
the great school of agriculture for the rest
of the Union. Her barren soil requires
close and scientific culture, and ber farmers
must necessarily use not only their hands
but their braiua.
What can be done he illustrated by this
example: "He knew, man in Massachusetts
who in 1825 bought twenty acres of land.
Ho has applied to it all tbo accurate knowl
edge that he could get. There is no month
in tbe year that something does not bloom
on bit farm ; there is something green there
always; and he always ba seme crop to
send to market. You walk through it and
find everything going on just as regularly,
accurately and carefully as tbe cotton goes
through tbe loom. He bas managed bis af
fairs with prudence, accuracy and care, and
bas made from bis farm of twenty acres two
hundred and fifty Jbousand dollars in forty
years. There is no illegal farming, no ille
gitimate farming, no careless farming that
will thrive in Now England."
To Kill Warts. Tho following is said
never to fail, if properly applied : Make a
strong steep, from red oak bark, in hot wa
ter; when cold, apply a convenient, tbe
oftener tbe better. In few day tha wart
will disappear. -
Itliweriea ofXIirht Lacing.
While we are growing very sensible in
deed in the matter of dress, in tbe way of
boots, bal moral skirts, warm stqekings, and
high uecks, we are degenerating in some
other matters quite as important.
The corset is not a necessary part of
a woman's wardrobe; and, alas I when a
woman docs begin to wear corsets, she will
wear them too small, and will tug at the
laces till he breath becomes short, and she
feels it necessary to refrain from anything
like a comfortable meal. We say nothing
against a well shaped gorsct, worn loosely,
but there lies the difficulty. A loose corset
injures the appearance, instead of Improving
it, and people wear corsets that they may
bave small waists. All we can say is don't
squeeze, whatever you do. You may bave
small waists, but you are exposing yourself
to a dozen misfortunes, which is as bad as
a large waist. First, you will surely hav"o
dyspepsia, and grow yellow and cross, and
unhappy ; secondly, your hands will grow
red; thirdly, your nose ; fourthly, you will
be unable to walk A mile at ouce ; fifthly,
dinner will bo a misery; sixthly, your
Bhouldcr blade will increase in size and alti
tude ; seventhly, your eyes will grow weak ;
eighthly, you will break down at thirty,.or"
thereabout, and be a sickly old woman from
that time forth. If these truths do not
frighten women from tight corsets, perhaps
the information that geutlemen do not ad
mire what dress makers call a "pretty fig
ure" so much as a natural one, may have
some influence. Xorltiireotern Christian Ad-

A rtoTel Kditorial Excurlon.
A number of western newspaper men pro.
pose to make an excursion in October from
Illinois to tbe Rocky Mountains. This is
no common festival. There will be one
hundred and fifty persons in the party ; each
man will be armed with an Enfield rifle, and
a mountain howitzer will be mounted upon
a platform car, to be ready in case the rifles
fail to repel the Indian attacks expected
along the route; a printing press is to be
tukeu along and a twenty-column daily
newspaper will be published ; the party will
subsist upon game killed on the route. The
company will leave Chicago on the 7th of
October and go through to the present ter-
minous of the Union Pacific Railroad the
Platte route and those who do not shoot
their neighbors, as Mr. Winkle did in the
famous Pickwickian gunning excursion, or
who do not get shot by roaming savages,
will return in two weeks.

Packing Bcttek in Summer. A Ver
mont butter maker writes to the N. Y. Far
mers' Club, conceruiug packing butter to
keep : "Pack it in well soaked tubs or fir
kins; put a little damp salt in tue oottorn,
and place it in a cool, dry cellar, ou a bench
18 inches trom the cellar bottom, anu tne
same from the wall. Stone or earthenware
does not keep butter well, as the moisture
from tbe zurrouoding atmosphere iu warm
weather condenses ou such vessels, and soon
affects tbe butter. Put no salt on or betwecu
the layers. Fill to within half an iuch of
the top, place a clean wet cloth over the
butter, pack the edges down with a knife,
and then spread thin wet salt on the cloth.
Having made and dealt in butter lor some
time, 1 can say the above mode of packing
butter will tie uselul to many, and cause a
smile of delight to the buyer."
Remedy for St. Vitus' Dance or severs:
Nervousness. Take a bandfull of each of
the following herbs: Solomon's seal, grate
brake, comfry, spikenard and burdock ; cas
tor tincture 2 oz ; a bandfull of isinglass,
sarsaparilla, and rasped hartshorn ; add i lb.
raisins. Boil tne above ingredients in lour
quarts of water until reduced to one quart ;
keep well covered while boiling, then strain
and cork well. Dose for an adult, a wine
glass three times a dav. The iugredionts
can be purchased at a Thompsoniac drug
store. This is a remedy for the above disease,
well tested and proven most efficacious in
mauy cases. m. c. b.
Scalds and Burns. Dr. Hall, iu his ex
cellent periodical, the Journal qf Health,
give us too loliowing advice on tne treat
ment of Scalds and Burns ; and as this ad
vice is peculiarly applicable to Housekeepers,
wo place it in this department of the Ainsri
can. He says :
"On the instant of tbo accident, plunge
tbe part under cold water. This relieves
tho pain in a second, and allows all band
to become composed. If the part cannot
be kept under water, cover it over witb dry
flour, au iuch deep or more. In both cases
pain ceases because the air is excluded. Iu
many instances nothing more will bo needed
after the flour; tim ply let-it remain until it
falls off, when a new skin will be found un
der. In severer cases while the part injured
is under water, simmer a leek or two in an
earthen vessel, witb half their bulk of bog's
lard, until tbe leeks are soft, then strain
through a muslin rag. This makes a greenish-colored
ointment, which, wheu cool,
spread thickly on a linen cloth and apply it
to tbe injured par:, ii mere are ousters,
let out the water. When tbe part become
feverish and uncomfortable, renew the oint
ment, and a rapid, painless cure w ill be tbe
result, if the patieut, iu the meanwhile, lives
exclusively on fruits, coarse bread, and other
light, loosening fruit."
Ccbk fob Cobns. The following recipe
is vouched fur as a sure cure for corns : "Put
the feet for balf an hour, two or three suc
cessive nights, in a strong solution of soda.
Tbe alkali dissolves the indurated cuticle,
and the corns full out spontaneously ; leav
ing a small cavity, which soon fills." An
exchange says: "We know tbe above reme
dy for corns to be effectual. We bava tried
it, aud fouud it acts like magic. But we
do not thiuk a strong solution ia desirable.
We know a friend who tried tbe remedy on
our recommendation, but ba made tbe solu
tion so strong that, with tha corns, it took
off a portion ol the skin on the foot. From
one to two tableepooosful soda in small foot
tub of hot water is sufficient to remove tha
corns, by letting tbe afflicted member re
main in it ten or fifteen minutes."
Remedy roa Ear Ache My wife was
once suffering intense pain from ear-ache
caused by a tumor inside, and after our rem
edies all failed to give relief, 1 called in a
neighbor, who poured vinegar upon a hot
brick, and witb a funnel conducted tbe
steam into the ear. Relief was quick and
permanent.
To Cube a Felok. Wben indications of
a felon appear, take a pieca of rennet and

It occasionally, bnd keeping on until a curt
