[A short time since the writer listened to an interesting discourse by a Methodist preacher, In which he related the follow ing touching incident: A mother who was , preparing some Boar to lake into bread, left "it for a few momeats, when little Mary—with childish curiosity to see what it was—took hold of the dish, which fell to the floor spilling the contents. The mother struck the child a severe blow, saying with anger that she was always in the way. Two weeks after, little Mary sickened and died. On her death-bed, while delirious, she asked her mother if there would be no room for her among the angels. "I was always in your way, mother—you had no room for little Mary! And will I be In the angels' way ?" The broken-hearted mother then felt no sacrifice too great could she have saved her child. Is there no room among the angels For the spirit of your child ? Will they take your little Mary In their loving arms so mild ? Will they ever love me fondly, As my story books Wipe said ? Will they find a homeror Mary— Mary numbered with the dead ? Tell me truly, darling mother, Is there room for such as me? Will I gain the home of spirits, And the shining angels see ? I have sorely tried you, mother— Been to you a constant care ; And you will not miss me, mother, When I dwell among the fair; For you have no room for Mary— She was ever in your way, And she fears the good will shun her Will they, darling mother, say ? Ten me—tell me truly, mother, Ere life's closing hour doth come, Do you think that they will keep me, In the shining angels' home I was not so wayward, mother, Not 30 very—very bad, But what tender love would nourish And make Mary's heart so glad Oh ! I yearned for pure erection, In this world of bitter woe ; And I long for bliss immortal, In that land where I must go ; Tell me once b Kaki, dear mother. Ere you take the parting kiss, Will the angels bid me welcome To that world of perfect bliss 7 [From Dleken's All the Ti.: &and PRENIDENT LINCOLN. A. NEW AND TELT STORT TOLD OF Tin LATE GEMBIEiI During eh e summer of the most disas trous and doubtful year of the late American war, the Colonel of a New Hampshire regi• ment lay for some weeks ceitremely ill of camp fever, near Hampton Roads io Vir ginia. Hearing of his critical conoition, his wife left her Northern home and after much difficulty, made her way to his bed side. Her cheerful presence and careful musing so far restored him that he was in a short time able to be transferred to Wash ington. In the Potomac river the steamer in which the invalid officer, Colonel Scott, and his wife had taken passage. was sunk in a collision with a larger vessel in the night time. The crew and nearly all the soldiers on board were rescued or saved themselves; but amid the horrible confu aim of the scene, Colonel Scott became separated from his wife, and she was lost. The Colonel was picked up in the water by the crew of the larger steamer, and under his direction every effort was made to dis cover his wife, or rather her body, for all hope of finding her alive was soon aband oned. The sad search wsa fruitless; it was resumed in the morning, the people along the shdre, humane confederates, lending their aid. Bat the gray, sullen river refused to give up its dead, and the young officer, half frantic with grief, was compelled to go on to Washingthn With in a week, however, ho received word from below that the body of the lady had been washed on shore ; that those good country people, generous foes, had secured it, cared for it, and were keeping-it for him. It happened that just at that time imper ative orders were issued from the War De partment, prohibiting all intercourse with the peninsula—a necessary precaution against the premature disclosure of import ant military plans. So it was with some misgivings that Colonel Scott applied to Secretary Stanton for leave to return to Virginia on his melancholy duty. "Impossible, Colonel," replied Mr. Stan ton, firmly ; "no man can have leave to go down the river, at this time, on any private mission whatever. Our present exigencies demand the most stringent regulations ; and I hope I need not say to you that no merely personal considerations should be allowed to intexibre with great national interests. Your case is a sad one; but this is a critical perilous, cruel time. 'The dead must bury the dead.' The Colonel would have entreated, but the busy Secretary cut him short with an ober "impossible," from which there was absolutely no appeal. He went forth from the presence, and returned to his hotel, quite overwhelmed with grief. Fortunately he was that afternoon visited by a friend, to whpm he told the story of hie unsiccestful application and sad perplex ity, who immediately exclaimed, "Why not apply to the President?" The Colonel bad but little hope, but ac knowledging that the plan was worth try ing, drove with his friend to the White Roust. They. *ere too late.- It was Saturday eve ning, and Mr. Lincoln bad gone to spend Sunday at Soldiers' Rest, his summer re treat. This was but a few miles from town, and the Colonel's indomitable friend pro prosed that they should IbThow him out, and they went. There was then s popular belief that all the wronged, the troubled and , enticing, could And a refuge in "Father Abraham's" capacious bosom ; a belief that was not tar oat of the way. Yet there were times when overburdened, wearied, tortured, the pottier& longed teaks" that asylum of his forlorn inmates, to bolt and bar and ,double look it against the world; times when life b e anie too hard and perplexing for .his genial, honest niture, too serious and tragic and rascally a thing by kalr.

Scott proceeded very modestly to tell his story, but thu President interrupted him, to say brusquely, 4 -00 to Stanton ; that is his business." ANur,z • "I have been to him, "Mr. President. nut he will do nothing for me." "You have been to him, and got your answer, and still presume to come to me ! Ani Ito have no rest? no privacy?

We arc at wur, sir ; dr.ii't you kpow that we arc at war? Sorrow ix the lot of all ; bear your xi -tlike a man and a soldier." "I try to, Mr. Preside, 5.:t it seems hard. My devoted wile . her life for coming to nurse me in my ickness, I e.in not even take her body ho:r to my child rep." "Well, r.be ought not to h ye come down to the army. She should have staid at home. That is the place for women. But if they will go tearing about the country, in such times as these, and running into all sorts of dangers, they rutin take the con sequences! Not but that I am sorry for you, Colonel. As for your wife, she's at rest, and I wish I were." Saying this, the President leaned back wearily in his chair and closed his eyes, not noticing, except by a slight wave of his hand, the departure of his visitors. I am not ashamed to confess that my hero tossed restlessly that night upon a pil- low wet with manly tears, that he was des perate and resentful, utterly unreconciled to the decrees of Providence and the War Department, and that he thought Ainahain Lincoln as hard as he was ugly, and as in humane as be was ungainly. Toward morning he fell asleep, and slept late. Before he was fully dressed, there came a quick knock at the door of his chamber, and he opened it to President Lincoln ! The good man came forward, pale and eag• er, tears glistening in his eyes, and grasped the Colonel's hand, saying, "I treated you brutally last night. I ask your pardon. I was utterly tired out, badgered to death. I generally become about as savage as a wild cat by Saturday, drained dry of the "milk of human kindness." I must have seemed to you the very gorilla the rebels paint me. I was sorry enough for it when you were gone. I could not sleep a moment all last night, so I thought I'd drive into town in the cool of the morning and make it all right. Fortunately, I had but very little difficulty in finding you." "This is very good of you, Mr. Presi dent," said the Colonel, deeply moved. "No, it isn't; but that was very bad of me last night. I never should have for given myself if I had let that piice of ugly work stand. That was a noble wife of yours, Colonel. You were a happy man to have snch a noble woman to love yon and you must be a good fellow, or such a woman would never have risked so mach for you. And what grand women there are In these times, Colonel! What angels of devotion and mercy, and bow brave and plucky!—going everywhere at the call of duty, acing every danger. I tell you, if it were not for the women we should all go to the devil, and should deserve to. They are the salvation of the nation. Now. come, Colonel . ; my carriage is at the door. I'll drive you to the War Department, and we'll see Stanton about this matter." Even at this early hour they found the Secretary at his poet. The President pleaded the case of Col, Sett, and not only requested that a leave of absence should be given him, but that a steamer shoeld be sent down the river efpressly to bring up the body of his wife. "Humanity, Mr. Stan ton," said the good President, his homely face transfigured with the glow of earnest, tender feeling, "humanity should overrule considerations of policy, and even military necessity, in matters like this." The Secretary was touched, and he said something of his regret at' not having felt himself at liberty to grant Col. Scott's re quest in the first place. "No, no, Mr. Stanton," said the Presi, dent, "you did right in adhering to your own rules ; you are the right man for This place. If we had such soft-headed old fool as I here, there would be no rules n or regu lations that the army of the country could depend upon. But this is a peculiar case. Only think of that poor woman !" Of course the "impossible" was accom plished. To the surprise of the Colonel, the Presi dent insisted on driving him to the Navy Yard, to see that the Secretary's order was carried out immediately; seeming to have a nervous fear that some obstacle might be thrown in the way of the pious erpedition. He waited at the landing till all was ready, then charged the officers of the steamer to give every assistance and attention to his "friend, Mr. Scott." With hint be shook hands warmly at parting, saying, "God blow you, my dear fellow, I hope you will have no more trouble in:this sad affair--and, Colonel, try to forget last night." Away up in a New Hampshire church yatd there is a certain grave carefully watched and tended by faithful love. But every April time the violets on that mound speak not alone of the womanly sweetness and devotion of her who sleeps below— they are tender and tearful with the memory of the murdered President.

During the great flood of 1847, when the Ohio River so far overleaped the bounds of propriety as to come up to Pearl street without any invitation, a great many dwellings located on the river banks were swept away and came floating down the pitiless tide. toss of life not unfrequently attended Ouse disasters, tea when a family, unconscious rf their danger, were asleep in their beds when the water rose about their house and lifting it feom its foundations bore it away amid the darkness and the turbulent flood. On the west bank of the, Ohio nt that time, between Marietta and P. , iiteloy, stood an humble dwelling occiipied by u small famer and his wife, together with five children, the younge , t an infant girl a little over a year old. The river rose during the night while the family were in bed. The rocking of the house as the surging waters claimed it, awoke the in mates, and through great and hnsty exer tions the farmer was enabled to get all his family, as he supposed, to a place of safety, though he lost everything cite. Standing on a little eminence near by he saw, through the gloom of that dreadful night, his house with all its contents yield itself to the grasping and avaricious flood and float down the river, were it was soon lost in darkness. He supposed that all were saved, but alas, it was soon discovered that their infant girl was missing. In the confusion and excitement of the moment the baby was left asleep on its bed, and had been swept away to destruc tion with the house. Great was the grief of the parents at the loss of their youngest born, and although due efforts were made to learn whether or not she had been res cued, nothing was heard of her, and It was very naturally supposed she was drowned in the river. Such, however, MN not her fete. A hun dred miles below where his dwelling was swept away, some people on the river bank the next morning saw something peculiar floating down on the current. They thought it was the form of an infant. A boat was procured and the object was in deed found to he an infant girl, steeping calmly and profoundly upon a bed. She was taken in charge by a family in the vicinity, who took such means as they knew to ascertain to whom the child be longed, but there was no clue to guide them, and soon the Mile waif that had floated down to them came to be considered as their own child. They adopted her the more readily, perhaps, on account of being themselves childless, and because of their sympathies being so greatly excited by the peculiar circumstances of the case—an infant floating all that night of terrible ~ torna, amid wrecks of bridges and dwel lings, protected from danger by an unseen power, that seemed to - direct her to their love and care. It may seem strange to the reader that the parents were not found for the child, or the where- abouts of the child made known to them, but it must be re membered that newspapers were not so numerous or accesaable twenty years or so ago, as now, and that people did not adver tiae the lost as they do now 'Halides. .11 the parties were in, humble life , and their circle of acquaintance, as well as their means, were very limited. Meanwhile the waif grew into a beautl- ful girl, and became as dear to her adopted parents as though she was their own. She had mourned for "mammy" a little time, but ere long all recollection of her early suroundings were but dim and shadq wy, and her new parents and her new home became all-in-all to her. A .few years and the family moved into Illinois, settling on a farm near Chicago. The Ulan prospered there, and was enabled to give his beautiful Ohio-fiver foundling an education fitting her graces of person, her amiability and her virtues. A short time ago her hand was sought in marriage y a worthy young farmer in the vicinity of where she lived, consent obtained and the happy day appointed. One day the family were in Chicago purchasing her wedding oat-fit. At a dry-goods store a clerk who was waiting on them observed our heroine temly, and seemed singularly affected—so much so as to attract atttentiou. "Excuse me," he said, in some confusion, addressing the young lady, "don't be offended at my staring at you, but the'truth is you see a perfect picture of a sister of mine at home, and I couldn't help thinking you looked just as another sister of mine would have looked„, who was swept down the Ohio in a great freshet rand lost." The words attracted the attention of the young lady's adopted parents. The re semblance spoken of, and the incident of the freshet taken in conjunction, could hardly have failed to do that. Explana- tions followed, nod It was pretty Pat isfac torily concluded that the clerk and the young lady were brother and sister, as in deed, was afterward proved to be the ,caee. Her parents, too, had emigrated to Illi nois, and lived not far from her own home. The families were brought together, and what was before believed to be true, was established beyond question, when the bed on which the child Is as found was Tito diced, and the garments she wore; for what frugal housewife would not recognize one of her ..wii beds, and what mother would not remember the garments worn by her favorite baby. There is little more to tell. Oar berorine was married to the husband of her choice last week, and had the satisfaction of hay log her own as well u her adopted ; parents at the wedding. We don't consider i necessary to give the names of the parties but the atm Is a true one, and we have the facts from one who is thoroughly conver- sant with them.—Cincimwstti.nntes. A-vairrr of young Americans were stand ing In front of an ancient saddler's shop, kept by. one Hans, a Dutchman.

One day, though, I got her down, and so I took her to the hired mau.and told hlm to load her, because it wal out iu the field.— Hiram said : 'Do you see those marks no the stock an X and% V—on each side of the Queen's crown. Well that means ten balls and five slugs—that's her load." "But how mach powder ?" "Oh ! said he, it don't matter, put in two or three handful's." "So I loaded her up in that way, and was an uwful charge—l had sense enough to see that, and started on. I levelled her on a good many blackbirds but every time I went to pull the trigger, I winked and shut my eyes. I was afraid of her kick.— Towards sundown I fetched up at the house, and there was the old man resting on the porch." "Been out huntin' hey ye ?" "Yes sir, says L" "What did you kill?' "Didn't kill any thing, air—didn't shoot her off—was afraid she would kick (I knew blamed well she would.)" "Gimme that gun I" the old man said as mad as sin. And he took aim at a sapling on the oth er side of the road, and I began to drop back out of danger. And In the next min ute I heard the earthquake, and heard the Queen Annie whirling end over end in the air, and the old man spinning aroudd on his heel, with one leg up, and his both hands to his jaw, and the bark flying from the old sapling like there was a bail storm. The old man's shoulder was set back three inches, and his Jaw turned black and blue, and be had to lay up In bed for three days. Cholera, nor nothing else can scare me as bad as I was scared on that day. THE ANTHRACITIC COAL REGION.—The anthracite coal region, now so much talked of in connection with the miners' strikes, includes about all this variety of coal in the United States. It is 406 square miles, and 107 lie within the limits of Luzerne county, Penn's. The total quantity raised in the whole State of Pennsylvania down to 1860 amounted to a little over eighty three million of tons, of which Luzerne furnished twenty nine millions. The first company far mining coal was formed in 1792, and it was five years before they ship ped to Philadelphia, and this venture con sisted of thirty tons. The city authorities consented to take it, and tried to burn' it under the boilers of the engines at the wa ter works, but it put the fire out. The bal ance was broken up and used in the place of gravel over the sidewalks and only the blacksmiths near the mine used the coal for home .use. The happy discovery was made by a tavern-keeper. Jesse Fell, of Wilkes barre, who concluded a good draft was alone necessary to make it burn, and he built a grate of green hickory saplings, placed it in a large fireplace in his bar-room, filled it with broken coal and dry wood tin der the grate and set it on fire ; the flames spreading through the coal, it was soon ignited, and before the wooden grate bars were consumed the success was proved, and hundreds of people flocked to the old tav ern to witness the discovery. A REBCKE.-A good story is told of the celebrated Whitelock and his servant who appears to have been able to preach on ot caaions as well as could his master. When Whitelock was about to embark as Crom well's Envoy to Sweden, he was much dir turbed in his mind as be rested inllabwieb on the preceding night, when he refieeted on the distracted state of the nation. A confidential servant slept in the adjoining bed, who finding that his master could not sleep, said: "Pray air, will you give me leave to ask you a question ?" ti "Certainly." "Pray air, don't you think God governed the world very well before you came Into "Undoubtedly." "And pray sir don't you think He will govern it quite as well, when you are gone out of it ?" "Certainly." "Then, sir, pray excuse me, don't you think you may as well trust him to govern it as long as you are In it?" To this question Wbitelock had nothing to reply, and turning about he soon : fell asleep. Great men are probably quite like ly to understand God's ability, and oirer• estimate their own. Ws heard from a Sunday school teasher the other day, an Illustration of one kind of forgiveness. Improving upon the day's leas son, the teacher asked a boy whether, ,In view of what he had been studying and re peating, he conk! forgive these who wronged him. "Could you," eaie the 1.1 a cher, "forgive a boy, for example, who had moulted or struck you?" "Ye s, replied the lad very slowly, "I—l could ;" but he added, in a much more rapid wan ner, "I could, if he was bigger than 16m." A 813 C-TEA- OLD boy was asked by, his teacher to mite a composition on the sub ject of water, and the following is the pro duction : "Water is good to drink, to stvim in. and to skate on when frozen. Whin I was a little baby, the nurse used to bathe me every morning in water. I have been told that the Nuns don't wash theinstilvas but once in ten years. I'wlsli I was ap in nu !"

"Alligators chaw a feller all up," said a little darkey we engaged to carry our bag gage from the boat larding at. Port Hudson to the miserable shanty called, by its pro prietor, a hotel.
