AYE COFFEE
Last night I beard a Wide-Awake
Whose face waa very long—
With cape and lamp all by ble side,
A singing of a song.
The song it was a pretty one,
And charmed my listening ear;
I only mind the chorus now,
And I will ring it here.
CHORUS.
Oh, Rim Corm I
Ton'ee sweet enough for me,
Without a grain of sugar, if
The nigger can be relief
1 saw &cape. and well I knew,
I'd seen it oft before—
And oft I'd seen that Lard Oil Lamp
Go sig-zlg past my door;
But now the rape was old and tore—
The lamp it had no 'lie,'
Yet sweetly there that Wide-Awake,
Sat tinging all the while:
moans.
Oh, Rya COFFEE I
The Wide-A wake's delight—
I shall remember long how well
He sung of•you..that night!
I wonder if that Wide• Awake,
As be sat singing there,
Intended to repudiate
His taxes Just and fair 1
I wonder if that Wide• Awake
Was posted well as I
That he was cheating Government
When drinking of the Rye?
OHMS.
Oh, Rrs Carnal
For Wide• Awakes you'll do—
But not for patriots who'd give
The government its due
Confounded be Rye Coffee,
Corn Coffee and all that !
That I will still drink Java, you
May safely bet your Lat
Confounded be the men who made
The tax a dreadful thlrg !

Which please stand up and sing—

LIFE AS IT IS•
In one of the principal streets of a
great city stood a large boarding
house, whose white marble front and
general air bespoke the aristocracy
of its inmates. One could tell it was
a boarding house, from the many
faces—fair and plain—sitting at or
near the windows. It was five o'clock
—the fashionable dinner.hour.
Already the public drawing-rooms
and private parlors were filled. with
youth and beauty. In one, a bevy of
fair women were grouped together,
talking rapidly and excitedly.
tell .you, it is mighty strange.—
Jane saw him come out of her room
twice to.day ; and last night, after the
Southern train came in, at one o'clock'
he went straight to her room!,
'Are you sure you can rely on
Jane's word, Clara ? I am sure I
should not trust my maid in a simi
lar case. They are all fond of the
marvelous.'
'You are really complimentary,
Miss Bradley. If you keep servants
whose word you cannot trust, I do
not.'
'The halls are dimly lighted at the
hour,' said another kindly voice; 'per
haps it was Mr. Leeds she saw.'
'No,—.lll.i. Leeds has dark hair and
eyes. This man had fair hair and
flue eyes—real aristocratic looking,
Jane said.
'For pity's sake, do let that poor
Mrs. Leeds alone. Of course it was
some relative, or be would not be go
ing to wake her up at that time of
night. As for being in her boom in'
daytime, that is nothing strange—if
ho had gone thilty times. At a ho.. ',
tel, on_e's room is one's home; and
who wants to run to the drawing
rooms to see every one that calls?'
'Well, I agree with Clara Wilber,'
said another voice. I do not think
we should notice Mrs. Leeds any more.
1 shan't for one. She is too secretive
and mysterious.'
shan't notice her, either.'
'Nor I—nor I,' said one and anoth
er.
'Well, ladies, I am very sprry for
the course you have 'taken—for my
part, I condemn it. I cannot blame
Mrs. Leeds, if she is - not disposed to
be communicative regarding her fam
ily affairs. I believe she has some
sorrow that we do not know of. 1
am interested in her—her pale, sweet
face touches me. I for one, shall
treat her politely—having seen noth
ing to cause me to do otherwise.—
We, none of us, have more-than a
speaking acquaintance with her, at
any rate. It is not at all likely she
would confide her troubles, or the
motives of her actions, to almost
strangers,' and the lady passed into
an adjoining room.
'Dear me ! How independent we
are! It seems to one, Mary Bradley
plumes herself a great deal upon her
wealth.'
'Oh Clara! how can you say so ?'
said the kindly voice above mention
ed. 'Mary has leas pride,- and cares
less for money, than any one of us.'
'Well, she needn't be so wonderful
straight-laced—but girls, there comes
Gen. Lane. Let us get up our very
prettiest smiles.'
A tall, noble form, in full regimen
tals—chapeau, sash, epaulettes, etc.—
entered the room. He was a hand
some man of fifty—dark-eyed and
olive-skinned—the beau of the house.
Though fifty years had passed over
his head, his lofty form was yet un.
bent, and his heart as young as twen
ty years ago. He was a noble spoof.
men of manhood; and notwithstand.
ing his half century, not one of the
fair beauties around him would have
refused him her 'lily hand;' for he
was both handsome and wealthy ?
And, although he had seen many a
bloody field, his deep voice was td
most gentle, and an almost womanly
tenderness brooded in his eyes.. As
he approached the ladies, he said :
'Good evening, fair dames. Whnt
is the news , ?' -
(General I you havejust missed a
rare dish of scandal. Mrs. Leeds was
done to a turn. lam sorry you have
missed it.'
'No need for sorrow, my, dear young
lady, as 1 was sitting out on the ve
randah, enjoying my cigar, I beard it
an. I suppose 1 should have moved
but I was, too lazy, and you were
talking so loud I did -not suppose it
was a secret.'
Clara Wilbur 'wilted' down consid
erably—for it von her custom to 'do'
the soft and gentle before the Gene
ral.
'What do you think of Mrs. Leeds?'
said gentle Maud Miller.
Miss Maud, I think she is
beautiful, graceful anda perfect lady.
If she were a widow to-morrow I
would try 'to win her.'
As be ffaished'speaking two persons
came pacing slowly down the broad
hall, Thei,:"3v,sinau . 'was slight and
graceful, with dark hair and eyes.—
She , woo a robeaf:black velvet—her
only ornament - being a coral brooch,
clasping a collar of rich lace around
her white throat, and the coral comb
that confined her jetty curls. The
gentleman was 'tall and aristocratic,'
with 'fair hair and, blue eyes'—being
doubtless, the identical man that Jane
bad seen enter Mrs. Leed's room the
night before. Vhilst they watched
the graceful movements - of the two
the gong sounded, and the entire com
pany passed into the brilliantly light•
ed dining-room. It so chanced that
General Lane's roams' adjoined those
of -Mrs. Leeds. He had only return.
ed to the city a fortnight before, ally
an absence of seven weeks—during
which time the stranger, Mrs. Leeds,
bad come among them. Immediately
after dinner he bad retired, to his own
room, much to the discornfiture of the
ladies. As he sat reading in his own
room—Mrs. Leeds and the world for
gotten—he heard a knock at the la.
dy's door, and, as it was opened, heard
a woman's voice exclaim :
'Oh, dear Charlie, is it you! Come
in ; you look tired and worn out.—
Come and lie down on my comforta
ble lounge and rest, while we have a
real good old-fashioned talk.'
The General was surprised to find
how plain he could hear, till he re•
membered the door between the
rooms.
'How long can you stay, Charlie?'
'Only till ten, Carrie. .1 have an
engagement at ten to meet. Lace Can
terbury. But, Carrie,
you too look
'tired and worn out.' What is wrong,
my pet ?'
'Nothing, Charlie; you only fancy
so.'
'Yon cannot deceive me, Carrie—
you are changed. Something is miss
ing from you :eyes ; and the rare old
gludn ess of spirit, that was my . pride,
is gone now.'
Then, ere she could reply, he added:
'Where is Harry to-night?'
The clear voice was unthltering that
replied.
'He has business out to-night.'
'lleWasout last night, when Immo,
at one o'clock. le it his custom to
leave you thus alone at night, Carrie?'
.'Oh no, indeed ! It just happened
'Come into•the inner room, dear, I
have much to say to you,- it is now
home like.'
Their voices only reached the Gen
ral's ear, now, in a kind of subdued
murmuring. Yet he could not road.
The spell seemed broken. Por an
hour he alternately paced the floor
and tried to read. He was just about
retiring, when voices frorn,.the next
room reached him again.
, So you must go, Charlie ? 1 dis•
like to.have you go, but I must not
be selfish.'
'And I dislike to leave you, sister
mine; but it must be. To-morrow I
will spend with you—day aud•. even
ing, too. Look in yonder mirror,
Carrie—see what a tiny thing you
are! Who would imagine we were
children Of the same parents ? You,
with your dark hair and eyes, and
mine both bright. It is too bad ! I
should have had the dark hair and
eyes, Carrie.'
'Yes, Charles, but, then, you know
Vic Canterbury, says fair hair and eyes
are 'so aristocratic,' said Carrie, arch
ly.
'So she does. But good night my
precious sister. You grow more like
your mother'every day, Carrie
/His sister I Oh, I. am so glad.'
And the noble warrior felt almost like
falling upon his knees and thanking
God for the woman's purity. Ho had
not doubted it; but the curse of scan
dal is that in spite of one's better pw.
ture—when one hears so mueb—some
thing of distrust will cling to the heart.
Soon, there came a knock at the
General's door—a summons for him
to go to the apartments of a brother
officer, on business, whose rooms were,
situated in another part of the bduse.
As he was returning, at 12 o'clock,
he saw a small, slight figure coining
up the hall from an opposite direc
tion. As he came nearer he saw
that it was Mrs. Leeds. She still
wore the rich dress she had worn to
dinner. A superb crimson shawl of
Canton crape was flung over her bead,
almost covering the blue
. black curls,
and tightly clasped under the chin by
two small, white hands. But the
white,despairing face, that rose from
out th at crimson drapery would haunt
one a lifetime.
As she passed the General, she
drew her shawl over her face, as tho'
to conceal it; and ho, gallantly, fixed
his eyes upon the floor, as though in
a brown study. He reached his rooms
too excited to- sleep. Something was
agog I what was it? Taking down
his well worn bible, this 'hero of a
hundred battle's' read, as it was his
night! y custom.. It might have been
ten, or perhaps, fifteen minutes, when
a light step passed his door, accom
panied by one slow and heavy—the
two entering Mrs. Leeds' room.
Soon he heard the sweet voice of
Mrs. Leeds say pleadingly.
'Don't be angry, Harry. Sit down
dear; I have a nice cup of strong cof
fee ou the bedroom stove.for you.—
Come and drink it, and then let us go
to bed, I'm so tired.'
'Why don't you go to bed, then P—
said the man crossly, in thick, drawl
ing tones, that showed he was li
quor.
'0 Harry, I couldn't IBut now
that you are here safe, can bleep

'Go to bed yourself, Mrs. Leeds, I
shan't sleep to-night. Where is that
precious brother of yours ? Has he

'0 Harry 1 you know that Char

was sorry you were not here to-night.'
'All! be .bound yoit halai a rare
dish of scandal at my expense. Ha I
ha I ha!
'Harry Leeds, you know better !'
and for the first time the tones were
indignant. 'You knew that I have
been.a faithful, true wife, and would
speak disparingly of you to no one;
not even to my brother. But come
now, Harry, undress and let us go to

'There is no use in fooling, Mrs.
Leeds, I am going back to room 195 ;
the boys want we. Mind, you don't.
come after me again,' and be rose to
go.
'Oh my dear husband, please don't
go off again,' said she in pleading
tones.
'Take your arms from about my
neck, woman, or I will strike you.'
'No, Ilarrie; you are but jesting.—
You would not strike me, your own
Carrie ?'
'Wouldn't I ? Then to convince
you, take that! And a heavy, bru.
tal blow fell upon the slender form;
and with an oath, the man left the
room, slamming the door after him.
Not a sound came from the strikk•
en woman. Gen. Lane listened iu an
agony of suspense for the faintest
sound to relieve theAread he felt
lest that heavy blow bad killed the
frail, loving wife. Several minutes
passed. Then be could endure it no
longer.

he soliloquized. will throw aside
all etiquette and see if she is hurt:—
He forthwith opened the door and
looked within. Ah ! what a sight
met his eyes! Upon the floor lay
the stricken wife, pale and, motion
less, the blood trickling from the
wounded arm where it had come in
etlntact with the stove. Lifting the
inanimate form, he laid it upon the
sofa, and tears—that were no shame
to his manhood—fell upon the pale,
young face. He bathed her face
with water, and soon, to his great
joy, the large, dreamy, blue eyes
opened and rested upon- him. She
looked at him as though bewildered;
then, in a. moment, recollection re.
turned, and a flush of shame dyed
her fair face. In answer to her ques
tioning look in her eyes, he said :
'My room joins yours, Madam, I
knew your were alone; and hearing
no sound after your fall, I feared you
might be very much hurt, therefore I
took the liberty of coming in. Do
not mind inc. I am an old man—
old enough to be your father, I will
ring for the chambermaid to assist
you, and then leave you.'
'Oh no! I can do very well. I
would not have her come and see me
in full dinner dress at this hour, and
see this blood, too.'
Trying to rise she fell back faintly,
and tears pressed through the closed
lashes. •
am deeply indebted to you al
ready Geu. Lane, and if you will as
sist me into my bedroom, I can then
manage alone. Tenderly the noble
man supported the slight form into
the adjoining room. As ho turned to
leave she said :
'Gen., you will keep this dreary
scene a secret, will you not? I should
die with mortification to have it
known throughout the house.'
will never speak of it, madam;
but I would advise you to inform
your brother, and have him remove
you from under Mr. Leeds' control.—
Excuse my bluntness, madame; it is
Meant:in kindness. My he'art aches
for you, and cannot help but speak
plainly. Good night, madam.'

he never dreamt of his only sister's

Before the sister could reply, there
was the tramp of many feet upon the
stairs, and in another moment a knoCk
at the door. On opening it four men
entered, bearing a rude litter, on
which lay the body of Harry Leeds.

As the steamer rounded up to the

the short,hurricd puffs of her engines,
and the mad shrieks of the whistle,
might be. heard such remarks as
these:

man stands
.calmly by, an amused
spectator of the scene. Look we
again. as f live, it is the gallant
General Lane, looking younger and
handsomer than he did two years
ago. As they landed, seeing that
the carriages and hacks would all be
full, he threw his shawl over his shoul,
der, cleared the fence at one bound,
and after crossing several fields, fdund
himself in a private lane that led to
the hotel. That pleasant, shady lane
was familiar ground to him, for many
a time in other years he had traveled
it. He soon reached the hotel, and
passing in to . the office, seuured a
pleasant chainber,, overlooking the
sea, before the crowd arrived. As he

calm contentment:
Days and weeks passed - rapidly
away and still the General lingered.

GUESTS PRESENT
The first ball held in the White Heine'
came off on the evening of the sth inst.
Over eight hundred invitations had
been issued, and nine o'clock was the
appointed for the assembling of the guests;
hut as it was not fashionable to be first,.
of course no one was there at that time.
Soon, however, they commenced to drop'
in. The first of any note was - Secretary
Welles and lady, Speaker Grow and lady,
Senator Wilson and lady.
By 9i, however, the were coining
in one continuous throng. Mr. and Mrs.
Lincoln then stationed themselves in the
centre of the East Room to receive the
guests.
The company, on entering . presented'
the card of invitation at the main entrance, -
and passed to the second floor, where the
rooms were all thrown open to' be used
as dressing rooms.
They then returned to the hall and passed
into the East room, paying their respects
to Mrs. Lincoln, and then to the President.
For one hour the throng kept up and the
rooms were all lull. •
The marine band, stationed in their
usual position, played one of the ver.f.firb
est overtures ever composed' prior to open
ing the promenade, and at 11 o'clock Mr.
Lincoln led oft, with Mizs Browning,
daughter of Senator Browning, of Illinois,
and Mrs. Lincoln with Senator Browning.
Others soon followed, and they poured'
through and through the different rooms.
A room was thrown were about twelve'
o'clock, in which was a table, with an im
mense punch bowl itt the-cents*and4sand.
wiches, &c., upon' it, for - tlie*tingty and•
