A Romantic Marriage Mice United An Illinois paper, the Knoxville Re publican, tells the story of a romantic marriage which took place in that town recently. The bride was Mrs. Almena Williamson, of Knoxville; the groom, Plidander Williamson, of Stockton, Cali fornia, and the parties had been married before. The mystery is cleared np in the following narrative from the local journ als: "The bride and bridegroom were united in marriage in early life in Warren, Iler kimer county, New York. at the house of the bride's parents, Richard and Mary Gardner, then residents of that place. By the same ceremony a sister, now Mrs. Timothy Mushier, of Galesburg, was mar ried to Mr. Abel Gardner, who, though of the same name, was in no way a blood re lation. 31 r• and 31rs. Williamson soon I after re-moved from New York to Michi gan, locating near what is now the city of Albion. Michigan was then new, it be ing over thirty wars ago, and they exper ieneed all the hardships of frontier life ' , and half civilized whites and savages. 31rs. Williamson being very young, on ly about twenty years of age. brought up in abundance, soon grow disconsolate at her fate, and sighed for old associates. So oppressed and overwhelmed was she that, while fond of her husband and her mar ried life, she became anxious to see her mother. It happened, that after being in Michigan two years, her parents removed from Herkimer county, N. Y., to Knox ville, 111. On their way they visited their ' daughter, then in the wilots of what is now the State of Michigan. No meeting., of parents and child could ever have been more affecting 1111 d j oyous. The separa tion. however. was at hand, and in the conflict between parental love and that of her husband, the former 'prevailed, and taking her only child, a daughter. Mrs.' W.,accomnanied her parrots to Knox ville, with a hom she resided until their' decease. Iler child. Mercelia, was reared and educated here, and died in the blush of womanhood. The separation, though mutual, always exercised the mind of Mrs. W., and for thirty years, though no good reason ex isted for parting linsband and wife. they walked widely dit ergent paths. Sit t to their separation Mr. W. married an estimable lady, aimed to California. became a citizen of Stockton twenty years ago. where he now owns property of con siderable value.

A one-armed horseman recently travel ing through Missouri stopped at a black smith shop to have his horse shod. The smith noticed the empty sleeve, and asked hint if he lost his arm in the war. He replied with a sigh that he did. and even more, going on to relate host he tad left his home to enlist in the southern army, and at the clue! of the war, in going back, he found that his wife, who thought him dead, had moved away, and he had since been unable to obtain a trace of her. "What is your name?" said the black smith. IVlren the answer was "J. M. Waldrop," he suddenly released the hoof over which lie had been bending„ and without looking at the ex-soldier, cried, "Follow me into the house," and hurried ly led the way. Amazed as he was at the conduct, Waldrop mechanically obeyed the unexpected bidding, and before he could pause to think, was in the presence of a comely matron, about whose sewing chair three happy children were playing. She was the blacksmith's wife, the moth er of his little ones ; yet as she arose to see whom the smith had brought in, and caught sight of the stranger's face, pile wild shriek proclaimed the instantaneous recognition, and she fainted. In the be lief that Waldrop was dead, she had nutr ried the blacksmith of Cedar City in the very year of the soldier's parole, arid now could only confess her dread mistake, and call alternately upon taller hostatad and her God for pardon. After the first agi tation of the singular reunion had partial ly subsided, tire two men returned to tae smithy and talked the matter over as sen sibly and cooly as their respective feelings permitted. Devotedly as he loved the woman, the honest blacksmith admitted the other's stronger right to her, and generously consented that she herself should decide between them. After a twig passion of tears and self-reproach, she elected to go with him wliont she loved the first; but declared with bitter lamentatkns, that she could not leave her children. The smith raised his bead from his breast, on which it hail dropped in the first despondency of his great af fliction, eyed her wistfully for a moment. and then said, "You shall take them my dear!" Wlone the steamboat SL Luke stopped at the landing, some,hours later, Waldrop went aboard with his still weep ing and thickly veiled wife, and the black smith followed with the children. The boat's bell rang for the starting, and the ,bread separation was at hand. The crew, the passengers, the captain—all who wit nessed it—were afils.rted to tears by the touching scene. 11 . th great drops roll ing down his tautly checks, the smith kissed his children, one alter another, and in a choking voice bade their mother an eternal good bye. The two men gazed hands each other's faces, shook blacksmith, by'a stronn?ell'Ort nn thin seen• released the banal of Waldrop and walked quickly to the shore. Ile never turned his face again toward the boat, which soon passed out of sight around a merci ful bend of the river, but strode on, with head bowel down, to the home whither the voices of wife and children should welcome him no more.—Sprinfeield Re publiean.

Try to dam Niagara with a lady's fan, but never try to stop her tongue. I say it who shouldn't say it, it can't be dune. I have a ease in point. Just before the arrivals from New York the other af ternoon, Mr. and Mrs. were seated on the piazza as Mrs. F —, from the Continental, drove by in her carriage and livery. "Charles," said his wife, gazing wist= fully at Mr. F'—'s establishment, "Why can't we have a carriage as well as other fo ks ?" The husband moved uneasily iu his chair and responded, " SIM ply, my dear, because we want to live within our mut D R." " Bother about meaner" trjoinded the haughty and thoug,htless wife. "SFr ought to live as well as other people," she continued. "So we do, my dear, and will in the long run," mildly added the g,ood-natur (4.l Charles. " I am sure we ought to lire in as good style as the S —s, the F --s, the M —s, the the C —s. and a dozen mote I might mention. We ought not to appear mean." "Mean !" he exclaimed, showing much temper -6. We want—we want," he mut tered, " there is no satisfying woman's wants, do what you may," and he abrupt ly arose from his chair, and took the di reetion of Chamberlain's Cottage. How many husbands are in a similar dilemma? How many houses and hus bands are rendered uncomfortable by the constant dissatisfaction of a wife with present provisions? How many bright prospects for business have ended in bankruptcy and ruin in order to satisfy this secret hankering after fashionable necessaries? Could the real cause of many a failure be made known it would be Ilnind to result from the ambitions of women to live above their means. " My wife made my fortune," said Mr. D —, a gentleman of great possessions, the other evening, "by her thrift pru dence, and cheerfulness when I was be ginning, "And mine, poor soul! she is dead," said Mr. R —, a widower; "lost my ibr tune by useless and extravagance and re pining when I was doing well." What a world does this open to the in fluence of our sex over the future pros kerity of their families. Let .the wife now her influence and try to use it VOLUME XXVIII, NUMBER 37. Our Grandmama. Grandmam,a is so old, she has so many wrinkles, and her hair is quite-white; but I her eyes shine like two stare. Yes, they are lunch more lwantiful ; they are also mild, so blessed to look into. And she can tell the most delightful stories, and she has a dress of thick silk that rustles: it is covered with large flowers. Grandiniiina knows so much, for she lived so lung before papa and mamma.— Grandmama has a psalm book with six thick silver clasps, and she reads in it of ten ; in it there lies a rose; it is quite pressed and dry; it is not so tine as the roses she has in the vase, and vet she al ways smiles most kindly at it; there even come tears in her eyes. How can it be that grandmama looks always so fondly upon the withered rose in the old hook Do you know ? Eetich time that grandma ma's tears fall upon the flowers, its odor revives, it freshens again, and the whole room is tilled with the scent of it ; the walls disappear as though they were only fog, and all around is the green, beautiful wood, with the sun shining through the leaves, and grandmama says she is quite young! She is a beautiful girl with bloom ing cheeks, engaging and lovely ; no ruse is more fresh ; yet the eyes, the mild, bles sed eyes, are still grandmarmis. By her side is seated a youth—so Toting, hand some and strong! He offers her a rose, and she smiles—but not thus smiles grandmama! Yes!—the smile comes. Ile is gone ; many thoughts and many forms pass by ; time handsome youth is gone, and the psalm-book, and grandtnama—yes, j there she sits again, as an old lady, gazing at the withered rose that lies in the book. Now grandmama is dead. She sat in the easy-chair, and told a long, delightful story. And now, it is offer," she said. 'turd lam quite a eary let me sleep 'a little." Then she lay back and drew a heavy sigh, and sl e pt ; but it became more and more still, and her face was so full of peace and joy, it was as if the sun shined upon it ; then they said that she was dead. She was laid in the black coffin, en shrouded in pure, white linen ; she looked so beautiful, and yet hey eyes were closed. But all the wrinkles were gone. A sweet simile played on her 'noun) ; her hair was so silver-white, so honorable, no could be afraid to look at her ; it was the same benign, kind grandmama. And the psalm book was laid under her head, as she her self had desired, and the rose laid in the old book—and so they buried her. On her grave, close under the church wall. they planted a rose-tree, and it stood fun of blossoms. The nightingale sang over it, and from within the church the organ played the most beautiful psalms in the book that tiny laid under her head.— Aiid the t down spun the grave ; ti m i e:r:iasig:l ti" theft at rey child might ... feglA..g r t r 13 , ..t.v.`i fiw 1 One that is dead knows more than all we lii big know. The dead know the dread we living should feel at anything so strange as that they should appear to us. The dead are better than we are, and so they do not come. There is earth offer the coffin ; there is earth in it. The psalm book with its leaves is dust, the ruse with all its associati ors has erutnbled into dust; but above, fresh roses bloom—aboNe the nightingale sings and the ore to is played. One thinks of the old grandmother, with the mild eyes ever young. Eves can never die! Ours shall one day see her, young and beautiful as when, for the first time, she kissed the first red rose that lioth now dust in the grave. Andrew Jackson In Domestic life An intimate political friend of Andrew• Jackson, formerly President of the Uni ted States, Pouches for the following: J ae k s un er sp,,ke an iwonttient word to his wife, scnant or chile ; and under his own roof proved himself the gentlest and tenderest of men. " There were two Jaeksons," quaintly writes a hi o,graphyr, Jackson militant and Jackson hating his own way; Jackson, his mas tership unquestioned, and Jackson with a rival near the throne. lie had loved his mother living, and, all his remaining life;. revered her dead. lie loved children, and they loved him ; he ought to have loved plants and flowers; lie must have loved pets—every trite hearted man and woman does love Chem. Before a blazing tire, on it raw and stormy night in February, with a child on his lap, and a lamb between his knees, Benton found and announced to him his first hope for military honor and glory. But foremost among the mild er, yet nobler of his characteristics, was his delicate, chivalrous, absolute faith in the virtue of women. "In this," said one of the earliest:and most intimate of his friends, "he was distinguishable from ev ery person with whom I was acquainted." " A nd," said Benton, " it was innate, un varying, self-acting, including all woman kind." Very rare and very exalted in this faith. Want of it is the beginning of immorality. There is no public, there cannot long be any private, virtue where it does not exist. CHINESE CRUELTY.—The murderer of the Viceroy Ma was executed at Shang hai some time since by being cut into ten thousand different pieces, the work being done slowly until the wretched man was dead. lie bore his sufferings as calmly as he had borne the terrible tortures to which he had been subjected during the judicial examination, in the progress of which he told several different stories of why he killed the Vieerby, one of which was that he did so because he believed the man to be in treasonable communica tion with the Mohammedan rebels in Kunsah. His confession was extracted from him by keeping him kneeling on hot ohuhis until he was so weak that it was feared he would die, and not a "suit able death," What is the Chinese notion of a suitable death fora murderer is pain fully evident from the above, —James!

Lee's Surrender. It has been popularly reported that the first interview between the two command ers took place under an apple tree, which has consequently been crowned with his toric associations. This is false. The fact is, that, in the morning of the 9th of April General Lee, with a single member of his stuff, was resting under an apple tree It hen Colonel Babcock, of General Grant's staff, rode up under a flag of truce, saving that if Gentral Lee remained where he was, General Grant would come to him by the road the latter was then pursuing. This was- the only interview under or near the apple tree and it may be mentioned here that the following day Colonel Marshall, who attended General Lee on the occasion, was surprised to find Federal soldiers hac king: at the tree, and was amused at their idea of obtaining front it ntemeutocs of the surrender. Ob taining news of Grant's approach, ,Gene ral Lee at once ordered Colonel Miirshall to find a fit and convenient house for the interview. Colonel Marshall applied to the first citizen he met, Mr. Wilmer Mc lA.ati, and was directed to a house empty and dismatitled. Ile refused tta use 1t; and Mr. McLean then offered to conduct him to his owu residence, a comfortable frame house, with a long portico and con venient "sitting room," furnished after the bare style of the times. The house was about half a mile from General Lee's camp. '['ho Confederate commander was attended only by one of his aids Colonel Marshall, a youthful, boy ish-looking scion of the old and illustri ous Marshall family of Virginia, who had :teen the constant companion of General Lee in all his campaigns, and, as his pri ate secretary, had done good literary scr ee, in the preparations of reports of bat tle, &e., which are now historical. With Grant, there were several of his staff offi cers and a number of Federal Generals. ineltitlilig Ord and Sherman, who entered the room and joined in the slight general conversation that took place there. I The interview opened withotit the least ceremony. The story has been frequent ! iv repented that General Lee tendered his ;word, and that General Grant returned it with a complimentary remark. There was Ito such absurdity. General Lee wore his sword, which was not his usual habit; and on the exchange of salutations, Gen. Onint remarked, "I must apologize, Gen eral, for not wearing my sword ; it hag gone off with my baggage when I received— your note." General Lt bowed, and ist once and without further conversation asked that General Grant would stale, in writing if he preferred it. the terms on which he would receive the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia. Gene ,al complied by sitting at a table in the room and writing with a common lead pencil, the note so well-remembered. —Old unit A DREAM SINUULARLY FULFILLED.— About a month ago Mr. James 11. Web ster, residing with his brother, at No. 526 West 37th street, New York, related the following: lie dreamed that in his bed room there was a coffin standing against the bureau. and on the lid of it was a plate. on which was inscribed, "James li. Webster, died August 6th, 1871." This dream at the time made uo impression on the family. Mr. Webster was taken ill on the sth of the month, and on the 6th, at three o'clock in the afternoon, he was a corpse. When the undertaker took the coffin into the room, singular as it may appear • he placed it against the bureau in precisely the position as seen by Mr. Web ster in his dream. The truth of :the above story is vouched for by Sergeant Lowrey of the Thirty-seventh street sta tion. —" Good-morrow, Mrs. Fogarty !" Thin, good morrow, kindJy. Judy, rhope I see you well this n' m':?" "So, Mrs. Fogarty, you married your daughter?" "1 did. praise be to goodness!" " Did she ger a gots! match ?" Faix, thin, 'tis herself that did. Didn't she get blind Mike, that makes more money than any three beg gars in Cork ?" " I'm delighted to hear it, Mrs. Fogarity, I assure you. That the world may wonder at the luck they'll have. Did you give her any fortune ?I " Any fortune is it? Alt ! thin, now, Judy, is it after insulting me you'd be? Sun , you know in your heart that a child of mine was never married without it Didn't I give her the heat side of Quincy street, which, if well begged, is worth seven and six-pence a week?' A NOBLE SENTIMENT.-TIIO Rev. Dr. Chapin, of New York, on a certain occa sion gave utterance to the following no ble svntintent . "I lore to hear the rumbling of the steam power-press better than the rattle and the roar of artillery. It is silently at tacking and vantinishing the Malakolfs of vice and Redans of evil ; and its ap proaches cannot be resisted! I like the click of the type of the compositor better than the click of the musket in hands of the soldier. It bares a leaden messenger of deadlier power, of sublimer force, and of a surer aim, which will hit its mark, though it Is a thousand years ahead i" —An "old colored sister" of Atlanta, Georgia, thus accounted for the recent destrnotivo Florin in that city: "I can jes tell yea what is do reason for all this hail and win and ruin what do good Lord has poured out upon us poor sinners---it aU comes of that ice mersheen that the white folks huh started in dis town. It's agin nuter—making of freesia cold ice hero in de month of July, and do good Lord is prinishin us fur trying to, be smart er den Ile is. lie don't make ice in do summer time, and when poor sinful man gets to going agin de Lord, den Ile's sure to punish 'em with storms of hail and rain and wind and lurufyin fevers—bless de Loril."
