Wilkins spoke in A fretful voice. It was

I called at his (Ape again toward evening

dry and crisp, with• here and there a prema

her motions were lifeless. 1.
A faint smile parted her lipsias . ,l grasped
her lintni with all the warmth of genuine
friendly interest. But it faded almost as soon
as it was born. l't ried to talk with her in a
cheerful strain, and did surateed in awakening
"a brief interest in the olden time. But the-i
pre , ent was too painfully tea; it would
. not
permit her thoughts to indulge in pleasant
fatettes. I could not help asking about her
self and her children and this turned • the
ourrent cif her,feelings s into its wonted "chap-

own feelings warp deeply shadowed. I pitied
her. What R. goirilire, suffering life had been

As she tidkr-d I observed her husband care i

the conversation into another channel ; and
once or twice he. threw ih depreciating sew
tenees,as if she were exaggerating the unhap
py story of her life. •
I learned-that Mrs. Wilkins rarely, if eV3i,
went out °flier own house. 11.er-ditties were
very arduous, and her ability, from ill health,
small. Every day she worked to bodily ex•
baustion and -usually iu pain. There was no
recreation of any kind. b.odily or mental. It
was a living death. No wonder she was a
droving, wretched, nervous woman.
Next day, I called to see my friend, having
made up my mind to have a plain talk with
him. 1. referred to his wife, expressing my
earnest sympathy in regard to her.
"‘Pooti-Mary !" be replied ; " her case is
hopeless, and mine, too, I fear." -
" While there's life, there's hope," said •
using the physician's half-despairing axiom.
.; He regarded me a little curiously.
" now often do you take her out r I in-
•
lie bill Leal.
" Can't afford eartiage hire ;'tis as much
a I enn do to pay the doctor. No, no, neith•
er of us have time nor money to spend for
riding out."
.. .
"Change, and fresh air, von will End bet.
ter and cheaper medicines than doctor's sniff.
Do you take Ler to the seaside in summer I"
" Yon are jesting," he replied, with the air
of one who felr that an undue liberty had
been taken.
" Far from it, my friend," I answered seri
ously. " : feel to.) warm an interest in you
to jest on tr subject. like this."
"A . vi-it to et watering place is a luxury,"
ho remniked sadly. . .
"Do not. mono tl.en as luxuries in your
case. If the enervated votary of plea-ure
needs them for reereation, an I to impart a
new zest to the year's succeedinq, round to
1 grofexistenee, how Amid) more essential are
they for the sick: the nervous. the exhausted

my fiietd, ,hat you have not thought wisely
lof your wife's true position ; that, in some

11LITINY lAr 7'IIE INDIAN ARMY.
• The-London Tima has the particulars of
the recent outbreak in the India - troops, Which
wig originally ascribed to the insigtfloan fact
that .thely catridges had been greased with
polk and-bullocLia4 which had excited the
:1 .
religious feellin l gs -bribe troops, and indeced
the revolt. The:Times gives the following.
aecout of the Meerut and Delhi insurrection
from the pets, of the Bey. T. C. Smyth., chap
lain at Meeruti l ' -
On the 9th-of May eighty-five troopers of
the 3d light cavalry, who had refused to fire
- with the .catridges supplied 'to them, (the
saute which they hail used for many-munths,)
were brought - up at .a pande of the :donut'
coops to receive the sentence, 'of a
,general
court-martial, ahiel bad fiuished its pro
ceedings the previous day, and whose sen
tence hail been confirm) by Mapr-General
\V. 11. Hewitt, commanding the division, in
accordance with the special powers which
had been given hiii) by the commander in
chief.
„Chains were riveted on the:mutineers
in the presence of the troops, and they were
sentenced to imprisonment for ten years..
All remained qufet till the evening of Sun-,
Jay, the 10th of Mav,.when 1 was driving
do , :vn to the church a- usual, (distant abdut
a mile ft dny hough,) for the 7P. M. service.
and mC
e
on my way twn of Her Majesty's
60th titles covered with blood and supported
by their comrades. On reaehing the church
found bh . g.ies and carriages driving away
in gtqat confusion, and a body of people run
ning to me and pointing to column of fire :.n 1.1
smoke in tl e direetion of the city.. t Frequent
rhos were thanheard, and the Ilistank cries_
of a Loge mob. My colleague, Rev; M Rot
tOn and his wife came up at the inc-nent ;
but, finding that the people had all gone
back; me abandoned; of cour4e, - the thought
of commenting divinit service .and drove
how. We went together, just after my
re:urn into the western verandah, and heard
a shot in the. adjoining road-, fo h iced by a
ery and the gallopmg of ahotse will' :t buggy.
This pieced to havebee:l . a murder of a Mr.
(v,,teri t iary surgeon-of the pl li g ht
:dry ; ) who was shot and mutilated by five
pets. 1.4. Chr,istie, (the surgeon of the
same reginient - ,)• who accompanied him in
the buggy, having been sadly disfi, , ured anti :
injured at . the same time. .11e is still living
and doing well, _ _
By this - time theEnzliA troops bad reached
the native:infant iv line into which they tired
with _rape and mu try. The inhabitants
of the S rider Itaz?Ar and city committed
atrocities fir gri•ater - than those of the Seioys.
as in the Case of Cri plain Menuhald's wife.

ultun daybreak, .nrit,cipdly eau-ed by tht;
tr. , hboring villugers, after the guarding of
the lit!;es.
The less ot property; and rtlrisl of life, has
been very dreadful. The part of Mt..erut in
which the insurrection principally raged is a
miserable wilderness of ruined houses, and
some of the resident:;, Oa was the case with
and Mts. Urea:(read, the counnis;.ioner of
division.) escaped miraculti-ly from • the
hands of their pursuers by hirlin:r'themAelves
iu the garden and outhott , e: of their burning,
Cungatos, and i n • bottle ca s e ; by diT • uisina
Chum-elves as rritive servants. Before the
EtiWileah troops at rived 'on Sunday night at
the scene action, the following were bar-
barously cut to pieces: • Mr. V. Tregnar, in
speetor of schools ; Capt. MeDortild, of the
20th attire infamy, and Mrs. McDonald ;
Capt. Taylor, Mr. Pattie, Jlt. Henderson, all
of the same corps; liunis, commanding
the 11 th native infantry ; MrA. Chambers,
whose murderer wascauiht on the 13th, tiled
at once, hanged on a tree Without•furt her de
lay, his body afterwards being burnt to ashes.
! In the 2d light ctvalry the. following were
: Mr. Philip. , vetetinary surgeon ; Mr.
and Mrs. Dawson Mr. McNar, lately_ joined,
and a little gi l l of the riding master, Mr.
1 Langdale, to:Tether with servral soldiers•of
the artillery and GOth lilies, and Women ar.d
children of the military,and general reidents
of the station..
Among ctlict instances of frightful butch-1
Eery was that of &meant Law, his wife and
six ch - 11ren, wI were living beyond the pre- '
Hots of cantonments. The state in-which
the tither and three of the infants were found
deties description. Happily- the mother and
three of her children, though previously
m rugled, crawled about midnight, to tl:e
tillery Hospital, and it is hoped will recover.
Mr. * Rutted and I have buried .31 of the
murdered ; there are others who , e bodies have
not been brought in. The 3d light cavalry
(with the exception of some„7o or 80 troopers)
and the. with native infantry, went off to Del
,hi during Sunday night. The 11th native
infantry, who not only refrained from murder
ing their officers and burning house -t, but pro
tected the ladies and children of the corps,
and remained in the neighborhood; 120 of
these hate returned; and it is thought . that
Imply more of them will do so; a proclama
tion- of pardon, 'ander,the circumstances,
having been sent to them. On Monday night
many people, (Including a large number of
women and childre4olept in•ae Artillery

my friends to our house, but while we were

with the ladies and children, back into the
depot, and 'thnyoops were at once placed
under arms and posted with cannon, so as to
command the European lines of the slation t
the rest being abaailoried.
The night passed away with no distur
bances,-. except Oust:tut shots between the
pickets and the rinteis, the latter consisting
of villagers and residents in the city and ',ba
zaars. On Tuesday evening Captain de Wa
iler, of the artillery, and, Captain Wallace,
of the 14th native infantry, l , with, their react,
Majority Abbott, Captain Han

several 'children, came in from. tkelhi, with

chaplain of Delhi, and his grown up -daughter
