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

Albion. Michigan was then new, it be
ing over thirty wars ago, and they exper

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

An Enoch Arden Case With a new
Sequel.
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

her God for pardon. After the first agi

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

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

Pride, Turn Outs and Pruverty.
Man wants but little here below, and
woman wants a great deal more, I am sor
ry to say, writes a watering-place corres
pondent. I confess it, M V sex are unrea
sonable hard to please. 1 speak of them
generally. There are exceptions—you oe
casionaliy meet one who is nut ambitious
of living abuse her husband's means.
You see more of 'them at Summer resorts
than at any other place. These pedple
will talk, no matter where they were—
they will exhibit their temper and had
breeding, no matter where you meet
them. 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,

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.—

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.

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

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

was feared he would die, and not a "suit

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

Lee in all his campaigns, and, as his pri

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.

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"
