They are making jtracks fur a railroad in this old to win. lam 'not pleased with the “ improve ments,” as some call it, for a pleasabt farm house and its surrounding fields that sloped from high apd undulating hills have vanished before its nod. The great genius of enterprise, with his ugly shears of commerce, is clipping at the poor wings of poverty and romance, till, I fear, by and by, ithey will only have power to (lap along the ground, their etherial faculties chain ed down to ;stock taking and invoices. I am sorry the house has gone, for there are some recollections connected With its history for the sake of which it would be pleasant could it have been spared. An old farm-house surround ed by .fields of waving grain and ; corn, in the autumn time* overhung by branches of various trees, goldep with the fullness of time, is a sight of picturesque beauty in a rich volley, especial ly if a fine old mountain looms np in tha back ground, pr a deep shade of forest bees stretch es away intu tho dear, mellow atmosphere be yond. ; ;;; , In that one before us (I am speaking now as if it stood ih the old spot) the widow of the no ble Captain If iehhoht lived some twenty ydars hgo. The lk|y was a fine specimen of old time Women;' dignified, even commanding in manner,' With .a fresh' bloom upon her cheeks, artificially moulded forehead, and adeep earnest expres sion in iber bright eyes. She was' a woman of refined; fthd| cultivated intellectual powers, ‘ a woman Who |in youth had known no stint of wealth, jwhwb mind was stored with classic lore, who had. never, till she emigrated to the wilder ness of the New World, soiled her fingers with even household work. L Father aid husband were both dead. Tie bones of the:; former reposed in another country , beneath a majrble monument; the letter had now slept two yehrs in the little burying ground be side the woojden church in sight of the red farm house, and a pmall gray stone marked .the spot where nis ashes mingled with the dust. One day during the hardest campaign of par Soldier?,.Madame Piemont was alone at tbb farm, Fomp, a negro servant, had gone on an Which Would detain him until nightfall) and Alek the hired man, had wounded hie Wand, with an axe, ;so that he was quite disabled and obliged :jto- return to his home, about a mile Sis* twit,, waieh, $y the way, was the nearest h«ae- [independent in eveeythino.] stead to the old farm house. The widow’s four bravo sons of ages varying from eighteen' to twenty-six, had started but two days previous for their country’s field of battle. While the widow realized that in all proba bility, some, perhaps all; wduld be smitten by the ruthless hand of war,‘ her, cheek was still unblanched and holy hope sat in the repose of her beautiful features. Only now and then, she turned to open the Bible before her and read a few consoling passages, and straightway resum ed her work with a trusting smile. Ah 1 patri otism found an endearing home in many such a gentle breast. Suddenly from a distance came a sound like the trampling of horses fest, and a great cloud of dust betokened the approach of travellers hurrying to.their destination. ' The widow moved to the door and shading .her eyes from the in tense sunshine, watched their progress. They drew nearer, and in another moment three horsemen drove up before the door. They wore military costume and were alf fine looking men. The foremost gentleman by far exceeded the others by his imposing figure, and the greatness of his countenance. It needed no introduction to assure the widow that this was George Wash ington. With that character which always characterised him, be bowed gracefully to Mad ame Piermont, as he blandly asked if he could find rest and refreshment. “ Our horses are. wearied ; we have ridden since this morning and would fain recruit,” he added. “ Certainly, gentlemen, and welcome,” she replied, smilingly, throwing wide open the inner door as they dismounted. “ Our poor beasts,” said one of the officers, patting bis smoking horse “ I would they could be attended to immediately. Is there a groom 01 servant about your bouse, Madame, trho could rub them down and feed them ?” 1 will reward him liberally.” ' “We would ask no reward in this household, sir,” replied the widow; “ if you will lead them around they will be cared for.” “ Make yourself perfectly comfortable, gen tlemen,” said the widow; “and excuse me while I prepare your refreshments. You must be hungry as well os fatigued.” In another minute the widow was in the stable unsaddling the poor horses—work to which she was not accustomed, but which, nevertheless she could do in time, being a woman of strong muscular frame and great energy. She knew it must be done by herself or not at all. As for men and horses they were completely jaded out. She with straw rubbed the animals down with her own bands, led them into stalls and prepared and give them food. After changing her dress the widow again returned to the par lor, where the Officers having unbuckled their swords and doffed their caps, sat conversing to gether evidently enjoying a delightful rest As the widow stepped over the threshold of the room, one of the officers was remarking to his companions— “He was one of the best men; and as fine looking a young follow as ever volunteered.” “Do you speak of young Piermont T” asked another. “ Yes, he fell yesterday pierced by three balls, poor fellow; it was a hard fate for such a boy.” For one moment the cheek of the widow was blanched, the heart of the mother shocked, but she spoke almost calmly as she asked: Which one was it, sir ?” “ Henry Piemoht, if I am not mistaken. Was he known to you f” -Was ne known to her ? Oh, the torment that followed that question I Henry I Her noble first born! He who bad taken the place of the dead at their board, and with a gravity beyond his years carried out the plans his father had left unfinished. And now bis bine eyes were dosed forever I his bright locks rolled in the dpst! Oh 1 the thought was anguish! A death ly paleness came over her, J)nt she rallied with a great effort, and said as calmly as before, as she turned her whitened cheeks away : “ He was my son, sir.” They did not see her face as she walked quick ly and firmly from the room. ‘‘Now, God forgive me 1 I feel as if I had done a cowardly thing,” murmured the officer while his lips grew pale with emotion. “ Com ing here to partake of this woman’s hospitality, >I have cruelly stabbed her to the heart ” “You are not to .blame, my friend,” said Washington, in his deep tones, in Which was blended a sadden pathos. “ Neither, if I read her aright, would she recall the child bravely fallen in his coantry’s cause. This is no com mon woman—henvery face speaks of her soul’s ‘nobility. Mark me, when you next see her, she will be tearless; no word of sorrow will issue from her lips. Our mothers, our wives—l am proud to say it—are heroines in this trying pe riod. And this, he continued, pointing to the Bible, “this is the secret of their greatness ; whenever you behold that volume opened, bear ing evidence of constant perusal, there you will find woman capable of any emergency. I re peat it it, when we meet again she will be calm and tearless although a mother bereaved of her child.” n Apd so it was, Madame Piermont had school ed her grief for the dime into' a sudden and sa cred submission, and' toe officers were oalled into another room to partake of , the smoking viands she bad prepared, they found her col lected, unchanged in her manner, and serene in countenance. The officer from whom the news bad so rudely burst, was lost in admiration of her conduct, and was often beard to say, subse quently, that he venerated women more for her sake. _ Towards night the trio departed, thanking the kind woman with grateful hearts for the cour tesy. They found their horses ready saddled and were forced to conjecture that Madame Picr mpnt had herself performed the duty of hostler. General Washington kindly took her hand be fore he mounted his charger, and addressed her tenderly and affectionately.’ Tears came to the eyes of the officers while they listened, but though an increasing pallor overspread the widow’s face, she murmured: “I am to my God, sir, that He has deemed nje worthy of demanding my first born in this glorious struggle; he was ready, sir, for life pr death.” But when l they had gone, and she Returned to the silence of that lone house, the mother wept exceedingly bitter tears. Draw we the curtain before her sacred anguish. ' ' Farewell, "old Piermout house, with your car pet of mallows, and old-fashioned flowers in old fashioned pots standing upon the stoop. I feel sad at Hie thought that ! shall never again see its doors wreathed in vines, whereon hong clus ters !of luxuriating grapes; nor its windows on the lower floor, all opened with the white our tains of showy whUemnslittfloatlngwitha dreamy, undulating motion in the pleasant hree*e. READ ALOUD. Beading aloud is one of those exercises which combines, mental and muscular effort, and hence has a doable advantage. It is an accomplish* ment which may be cultivated alone—perhaps bettor than under a teacher—rfbr then a natural ness of intonation will be required from instinct rather than art; the most that is required being that the person practicing should make an effort to command the mind of the author, the sense of the subject. To read aloud well, a person should not only understand the subject, but should hear his own voice, and feel within him that every syllable was distinctly enunciated, while there is an in stinct presiding which modulates the voice to the number and distance of the hearers. Every public speaker ought to be able to tell whether he is indistinctly beard by the farthest auditor in the room ; if he is not, it is from a want of proper judgment and observation. Beading aloud helps to deyelope the lungs just as singing does, if properly performed. The effect is to induce the drawing; of a long breath every once in a while, oftener and deeper? than of reading without enunciating. These deep in halations never fail to develop the capacity of the lungs in direct proportion to their practice. Common conanmption begins uniformly with imperfect, insufficient breathing; it is the char acteristic of the disease that the breath becomes shorter and shorter through weary months, down to the close of life, and whatever counteracts that short breathing, whatever promotes deeper inspirations, is curative to the Extent, inevitably and under all circumstances. : Let any person make the experiment by reading this page aloud, and in less than three minutes the instinct of a long breath will shew itself. This reading alond developes a weak voice, and makes it sonorous. It has great efficiency, also, iq making the tones clear and distinct, freeing them from thit an noying hoarseness which tpe unaccustomed rea der exhibits before he has gone over half a page, when he has to stop and hem, and clear away, to the confusion of himself as mnch as that of the subject. This loud reading, when properly dope, has a great agency in inducing vocal power, on the same principle that all muscles are strengthened by. exercise, those of the voice-making orgqns being no exception to the general rule. Hence, in many cases, absolute silence diminishes the vocal power, just as the protracted non-use of the arm of the Hindoo devotee at length para lyzes it forever. The general plan, in appro priate cases, is to read aloud in a conversational tone,, thrice a day, for a minute or two, or three, at a time, increasing a minute every other day, until half an hour is thus spent at a time, thrice a day, which is to be con tinned until the desired object is accomplished. Managed thus there is safety and efficiency as a uniform result. As a means, then, of health, of averting con sumption, of being universal and entertaining in any company,-as a means of showing the quality of the mind, bat reading aloud should be consid ered an accomplishment far moire indispensable than that of smattering french, lisping Italian, or growling Dutch, or dancing cotillons, gallop ades, polkas, and quadrilles.— Hall't Journal of Health.

Above all, never born love-letters, to read them in after years is like a a resurrection of one’s yonth. The elderly spinster finds in the impassioned offer she foolishly rejected {twenty years ago, a fountain of rejuvenescence. Glan cing over it she realises that she was once abelle and 4 a beauty and beholds her former self in a mirror much more congenial to her taste Utah the. one that confronts her in her dressing room. The “widow indeed** derives a sweet and solemn consolation from the letters of the beloved one. who has just journied before her to the far off land, from which there cornea no messages, and where she hopes one day to join him.
