October 81,1853 —Ot
One of my father's brothers, residing in Boston
at the lime when the yellow fever prevailed to such
a frightful extent, became a victim to (he pesti
lence. When the first symptoms appeared, hie |
wife sent the children into the country, and herself {
remained to attend upon him. Her friends warned
her against such rashness.. They (old her it would
be death to her, and no benefit to him, for he would
soon bo too ill to know who attended upon him.
These arguments made no impression on her af
fectionate heart. She felt that it would bo a long
life of satisfaction to her to know who attfnded
him, if he did not. She accordingly stayed; and
watched him with unremitting care. This, how
ever, did not avail to save him. He grew worse
and worse, and finally he died. Those who went {
round with the death carta had visited the cham- {
her, and seen that the end was near. They now {
came to lake (he body. His wife refused to let it j
go. She told me (hat she never knew how to ac-j
count for it, but, though he was perfectly cold and
| rigid, and to every appearance quite dead, there
| was a powerful impression on her mind that life
was not extinct. 'The men were overborne by the
strength of her conviction, though their own rea
son was opposed to it.
The half hour again came round, and again was
heard tho solemn words, ‘-Bring out your dead. 11 j
The wife again resisted their importunities; hut
this lime the men were more resolute. They said
the duty assigned to them was a painful one, but
the health of (he town required punctual obedience
to the orders they received; if they ever expected
the pestilence to abate, it must be by a prompt re
moval of the dead, and immediate fumigation of
the infected apartments.
She pleaded and pleaded, and even knell to Ihom
in an agony of tears, continually saying, ‘‘l am

thousand years since, Cain smote his brother at

have been trophies of lerocious conquest. Iluin
and terror have swept over hills and valleys, and

Peace which should have been the companion of

Tho tfar of Humanity with lisolf—lis suicidal
strife—estrangement from Its original nature, and
from God, rann >t always last.
Kighteen hundred years ago, one came upon the
earth, heralded by angels, who sang “-Peace on ,
' earth, and good will to men.” And the prophecy j
lof that song will come to pass. The unnatural,
! war among men, societies, and nations, must cease. <

TUB PERILS OF A] ATfIIBIONI AL LIFE,
We turned aside from our path for a space, to
visit an object of some curiosity, which is one uf
the “lions" or mo eastern snores, I his is an an
cient vault, belonging lo a memberof the “Custis”
family, « branch of the same slock with which
Washington intermarried. It lit s upon a fine old
farmstead, looking out upon the hay, and occupies
.the centre of a largo field, the only prominent ob
ject, sheltered by some old trees. This vault ia
lof white marble, elaborately carved in London,
| but now in a stale of dilapidation. The curious
feature about it consists In its inscription, which
runs thus:
‘•Under lliifl marble lomb lies the body of the
Hon. John Oustis, of the city of Williamsburg!)
and Parish of Burlon; formerly of Hungnr’s Parish,
on the eastern shores of Virginia, and county of
Northampton, aged 71 years, and yet lived but
teven years which wat the time he kepi n Dnchelur a
Home at Arlington , on the Eastern shore of Vir
ginia.”
This Inscription, we aro told by another on the
opposite side, was pul on tho lomb by his own po
sitive orders. The gist of it, onr lady readers will
bo pleased to conceive, consists In iho linos we
have italicised; the force of which will bo bettor
understood from iho additional fact, which does
not appear, ilia I this bachelor, who lived in his
bachelor condition, was actually married three
times. 11 is experience, if wo are to believe his
epitaph, was greatly adverse to the idea of happi
ness in tho married state; yot how strange that ho
should havo ventured three time* upon it I Tho
natural conclusion is, that Hon. John Cuatis was
a singular, Just, and conscious man, who, unwill* 1
ing to do tho sox any wrong by a premature Judg
ment, gave them a fair trisT, at the expense of his
own happiness, and pronounced Judgment only
after his repeated experiments. I
Tradition has preserved anecdotes of tho sort of
experience which he enjoyed in the marriage state,
one of which I will relate. It appears that he was
driving out in his ancient coach with ona of his
wives—and to do him justice wo must assure the
reader ho had but one at a time—and In the neigh
borhood of the very spot to which we ourself are
tending—Cape Charles. A matrimonial discus
sion ensued between the pair, which warmed as
they proceeded. The lord grew angry, and the
lady was vociferous.
“It was (ho diamond," said one—"and I insist,”
quoth the other, “that it was the club.”
“You will drive mo mad!” cried John Custis.
“1 should call that admirable driving I” retorted
his wife.
“B !" ho exclaimed, “If you eay another
word, I will drive into the sea!” They were even
upon the beach.
“Another word !” screamed the lady, “Drive
where you please!” sho added. “Into the sea —I
can go as deep ae you dare any day !”
Ho became furious, took her at her word and
drove tho horses anti chariot into the ocean. They
began to swim, he held in, looked into her face,
1 ami sho laughed in his.
•.Why <)o you slop - !” she enquired, exultlngly,
not a whit alarmed.
“You arc a devil !” hn exclaimed, turning Ihe
horses about, and making for the shore with alt
expedition.
“Pnob ! pooh !” laughed his tormentor. “Learn
frojn this lart that there is no place where you are
lo go, w lierti I dare not accompany you."
“Kveu to !”
“The only exception,” alto answered with a
chuckle; “there, toy dear, I leave you."
Sho had conquered.
He never drove nl Capo Charles again, but
groaned wuh iho recollection of the seven years’
bochelnr life at Arlington.— Correspondence of the
Charleston Evening A’ews.
