To those her grave tlio: , e tears are given,
Ever to now—

Long time ago.
The carriage - ittoprted at the door, and in
a few minutes, Margaret hale enteral the
apartment where her husband sat, wholly
absorbed in poring over day -booßs
ledgers.
'"fhose tiresome accounts still," :he ex
claimed. " Will you never find ,ime for
anything else but business, Ralph ? Have
you no taste for anything beyond figures?"
"Margaret !" but the. Sailiiess in the tone

She went hastily to her chamber for the
volume. When she returnol her quiet
entrance was unheard by her husband,
whose pen was rapidly moving along the
almost interminable columns of figures.—
Witlran impression of impatience, almost
of scorn, resting on her face, she hastily

turned away.
"And this is the end of all my dreams of
marriage," said she on reaching her room.
"Ile has a taste for drudgery. Ilis pur
suits and tastes are all common-place, am!
I need, to find those who will appreciate,
with me, Ale,„books I.love, and the beauti
ful in art, for which he haS neither eye
nor ear. Why did he not, marry a woman
who had neither heart nor mind to be con
tinually unsatisfied 1"
In the room she had left, Ralph Halo
sat hour after hour, till his brain was wea
ry and his eyelids drooped. Then laying
aside his books, he remained a long time
in deep thought,
"God bless my Margaret," he prayed,
"and giVe Inc stvenght to bear all things.
Give me power to make her happy."
Putting far away all thoughts of her
husband's teal nobleness oteharacter, jeal
ousy preserving the memory of every slight
difference in their tastes and pursuits.—
Margaret cherished the spirit of 'discon
tent, till it embittered every hour of her
life, and sent suffering she never dreamed
of, to the heart of her husband, who would
gladly have sacrificed every earthly good
for her happiness.
A sudden and severe ill came to her,
while Ralph was in a distant city. One
day during, her slow recovery, the aged
minister who had babtized her in infan
cy, was slanting by her side.
-'Margaret," he said, after steadily
watching her troubled face, "you are very
unhappy, I have seen it a long time.—
. 1 should not recognize •in you my once
,cheerful and happy .child. May I not
knovi what great sorrow has come to you?"
Then with sobs and tears she told him
"fall her unhappiness.
After a short silence, the old man spoke ;
again ; and there was sadness, almost
sisternness in his voice. "Years ago-Mar

°RIC:II , 7 OF TDE ODD FELLOWS. — Many per
sons who are under the impression that
the society of Odd,-Fellows is an origina
tion of modern times will be somewhat
surprised to learn that its origin dates as
far back as the time of Nero, and was es
tablished by the Roman soldiers in tiro
year 55. At that time they were called
"Fellow citizens," the present name being
given them by Titus Caesar twenty-four
years afterwards, and they were so called
from singular character of their meetings, I
and from their knowing each other 'by
night or day by means of ;mystical signs
and language. Bt the same time he gran-1

plate of gold, bearing different emblems of
morality. In the fifth century the order
was established ip the Spanish ddrninronsy .
and in. Portugal in the sixth coqiury. It
did not reach France and Englard until
the eleventh century. It was then estab
lished in the latter country by John de
Neville who, assisted by five knights from
France formed a Grand lodge in London.
This ancient fraternity has now its lodges
in every quarter of the globe, and by its
usefulness and benevolent character, com

[Corrnkponclence of the Pcmayleahb Inquirer.[
An item of news just now going the
rounds, relates ilia: a sa,lor who recently
died iu Texas confessed on his death bed '
that lie was onc„of a crew of mutineers
who some forty years ago took possession
of a brig on its passage, 'from th ar leston
to New York, and caused all the officers
and passengers to walk the plank. For
forty years the wretched man had carried
about with h ut the dreadful secret, and I
died at bust in an agony Of despair.
What. gives this story additioual interest
is the fact that the vessel referred to is the
one on which. Mrs. Theodocia Allston, the
beloved daughter of Aaron liturr,took pas

meeting her parent in the darkest days of
