Mrs. Hinkle's rocker jerked itself into a full stop; and the like to have a third person hint at a separation startled her. "Well—yes," said she hesitatingly.— "I've g t die property I brought with me when I was married.

"He'd clutter the kitchen with his greasy harnesses, and camp down on the lounge in his boots—that's what he'd do minute I was off!" snapped Mrs. ilinkle.

"X wonder whether or no snge ten woildn't be kind of quieting to Laviny." IfinkJe reflected one morning.

What's good for her nerves?" "I don't know, without its a sot:nd scolding," replied Miss Pilch°. "New, sister, yOu're hard on Laviny." said Mr. Hinkle in an injured tone;" she ain't tough like Oat you be." "Her temper it tough ; hut I'm suited if you are, poor tout!" and Miss Pliebe hunted for both S'age and valerian,though inwardly persnadeu that all the poppies in the world couldn't sooth Laviny when she once got "see out." Meanwhile, Mrs Hinkle had been doing a furious forenoon's work, and, ready to drop front exhumation, was just hanging up the mop after scrubbing the kitchen floor, when dear, blundering old Reuben scuffed across the:threshold with his torn paperbags, scattering, dried leaves like an autumn wind, and leaving a muddy moc casin truck at every st 4 p. Before those clumsy footprints Mrs. ll'nkle's feeble forbearance fled. The herbs her husband had trusted might prove a narcotic, acted upon her as a powerful irritant. "Reuben Hinkle!" said she, bracing her aching back against the pump "how much longer do you think I'm going to wash floors for you to litter?" "There, there! now don't fret," pleaded Reuben ; saveeep it up. You do putter round inoien you're able that's a fact.

"I've always made excuses for you, Laving, and tried my heat to live peace able," said he ; but I tellers 'taint in the pow, r of mortal man to get along with you."

Some how I can't bear to lock her out; and it is a fact worthy of note that the faithful Reuben, fur the first time in his life, went to bed leaving the porch door unbolted. If he had cherished a vague hope that his wife might steal home in the early morning, he certainly saw no traces of her ruling spirit on rising. By dint of burning three fingers he succeeded in making a breakfast. As he was sitting at this frugal repast his sister Phebe Bounced in. "Has Ltviny left you, Reuben?

Pretty work it was to be crowded out offer own house by his folks! She knew why Rmbec did not come. They had been setting him against her. What if he shou!d never come ? Lavina, mortified, and then alarmed by his non-appearance, worried herself into a course of exasperating sick head aches, and in every sense shut out the sunlight from the house -of the Tripps. In the midst of paint-scrtibbing Mrs. Tripp found no leisure to devote to her compLuning sister, but left nun of her children to wait upon her. Mrs. Hinkle felt abused. When had Reuben b:en too busy to bathe her aching temples. Little Joe made her nervous us a witA, and one day she told hint so, and a moment after had the satisfaction of heating him say to his mother in the kitchen that he "couldn't get along with Aunt Laviny no how." “'Taint in the power of mortal man to get along with you, L tviuv.” The words came hack with the startling force of a proof text, and haunted her afterwards con tin ually. Ohs morning lithe Joe rushed in with the terrible tidings that "Uncle lt,mben had fallen kerchunk from a twain in the barn." Mrs. Hinkle tore the bandages from her head and started up.

A Florida ctrl was jest Sink tag behind the trees, and a rich glow suf fused the luxuriant vegetatiou that had not yet been solL:red by the parchel heat of the later spring. Miss Samson was an only child, an heiress, mad ;13 pr nil and s.ll-willed as the fret ltd. prancing brute on which she rode. Her long, hhiak hair hung in artful confusion upon llrsplend td aeck. while the deli col it of her ele gaudy cut Ewe returned the haughty challenge of the m ignifictent tropical blossomi that set forth their alhost over powering odors on every side. Soon she heard the sound of a horse's feet approach ing at a gallop, and' rounding a curve in the road, met a handsome man of about twenty-six years of age. Ile was tall and graceful, and altogether a fine represen• tative of the true typo of Southern chiv alry. lle was dresied in the ordinary. style of the Southern gentlemen, but with a precision and neatness which, together with the white neck-tie that he wore, plainly bespoke the clergyman. A 3 they met, he turned its hors2s head, mil the two rode on side by side. -Yon may do as you like, Mr. Merlin," said the lady, with a calmness and .do liberatiop utterly at variance with her us ually impulsive tone of comm lad, "bnt if von do not propose marriago to Miss 'Searle, you shall never win my hand.' "taut, Bellti, she may accept me." "0, she will accept you, never fear that; ' but I will undertake to find a good Cause for brAkiny, off the match." "You splendid tempter,why do you urge me to this thing ? It may result in corn promising me in position, and will cer tninly be a wrong to the lady." "I will not argue," she angrily return ed, "Yon know my terms.". I have deter mined to accomplish my purpose in this, and if you love me and wish me to love you in return. you must yield to me." And the Reverend Ilampton Merlin yielded. Ile yielded, as all men yield, to imperious beauty—as the intellect always yields to the senses. He knew that the purpose she had in view was that of a slighted woman. lie know the history of the engagement with George Morely, flip pantly broken by the gentleman on , the plea of a residence in Italy, as a conso quence of his appointment to a position in the diplomatic service. lie knew that before Morely had left for Atalv ho had proposed to Miss Searle, but - had only been able to obtain a promise that she would reconsider the matter. Me knew that the reason for this hesitation on the part of Miss Searle, was her ill-concealed affection for himself. Ire knew all this, and yet he yielded like a man—weakly, like a man. Within a week all the gossips in and about the small collection of houses known as Morton's Landing. were bab bling the new sensation—Helen Searle had at last succeeded in catching the minister. It was strange what tastes men had, and how easily they could be en snared by girls who were bold enough to follow them up and make love to them. As for the poor girl herself, who AVM being made a victim to the revenge of a rival and the guilty complicity of a man whom she loved with a very blindness of passion, she appearesi at church and in the scanty society of the place, like a new blown flower. Love requited fairly il luminated her life. But there was one drawback. Her lover seemed as•much as possible to avoid her presence; and al- though she ateributed this to a desire on his part to avoid all appearance of love sickness, yet hit gloomy expression and absent mindedness painfully puzzled her. She was a heal:rife girl, of elegant manners and exceptional cultivation of mind. She had mild blue eyes, and a face which at every turn was suggestive of some new womanly grace. Her gentle life seemed that of a Nerthern waif in the passionate-hearted South. Verily the ways of women are past finding out. Here was a young girl's life to be blighted, not for anything she had done, not because she 'was supposed to be a rival of Bella Samsom to Mr. Merlin's love—for Miss Samsom did not care fur the man whom she had promised to marry—but because George Merely had preferred her sweet face to the proud beauty and impetuous disposition of one who once called herself her bosom friend. She had not even re turned Merely's love. Nevertheless, she was loved by Merely, and his heart must be pierced, though the stroke should make desolate her whole future life. The scorned woman had grown to hate het innocent and unsuspecting rival. Two mouths had hardly clasped since the engagement of Mr. Merlin and Miss. Searle. when a most toothsome scandal was whispered about in the first circles of Morton's L sliding society. .A letter had been received by the minister signed by "A Friend," warning him not to keep his engagement with Helen Searle. This letter, gossip said, had been sent to Mr. Searle, together with a note from Mr. Merlin, to the effect that he disbelieved the statements contained in the letter,but that nevertheless he thought it due to his position, as a minister of the gospel, and to 1113 congregation,to avoid even the con nection with so painful. etc. The note was concluded with a positive demination on the part of the writer to continne'the engagement. 'rime father,npon the receipt of the letter and accompanying note, rav ed like a madman. lie swore that he would limit down the slanderer, but ex pressed himself as happy at the discovery of the pusillanimous character of the man who was to have been his son-in law. In fact, however, he was able to do nothing. The letter bore no trace by which to detect the writer. It had been mailed at Mobile. But his search for the shiederer was stopped by a graver -and more terrible misfortune. When the news had broken to Helen, she had received it in silence, and it seemed to have but little effect upon her. She pass-. ed the day in her room. The nest morn ing she appeared very pale, and with a worn expression of countenance. She hail not slept a moment daring the night. At breakfast she asked, with a faint smile, if the story about tho letter was really true. oo 1,,,4ng told it waq she seemed shock ed, mat blushed slightly,but said no rune. She again passed the day in 'her room, but the nett morning it was found empty and the bed undisturbed. It was the old story. In the peaceful black depths of the eddying water, there seems ever to be a fair spirit beckoning wretched women to nndisturb rest. Helen's body was found after a long search, in the river, whence it was taken, cold and pak, to the now desolate house- It w.ll it:r" • parp ose at this time to r..call the grief of the family, or the simple rites which custom and effec tion prescribed at her burial. The father died with a broken heart two weeks after his daughter's funeral, The remainder of the story is soon told. So horrified was the clergyman at the consequences of his ~,guilty complience with the i.prices of Bella Sampson, that he broke the real engagement existing be tweenlthem. lie reproached her in the strongest terms with her_ critm, and ear nestly conjured her to make what rep aration she could by clunteractiog the effects of the letter which she had writ , ten, and which he had used with such a fatal effect in freeing himself from. his engagement with llelen Searle. To do him jnstice, he had never contemplated that Mr. Searle would be rah enough to . _ make known to his family the true con tents of the letter; nor did he ever know that Miss Samson herself had contrived to have the story affecting the Fdr fame of the pure young girl communicated to the gossips of the neighborhood. She utterly refused to do anything to miti gate the grief of the stricken family, although she was evidently startled by the fatal result of her scheme. She lived for some years, a beautiful recluse, in the handsome mansion she had inherited Irom her father, but subsequently remov to New Orleans, where she soon became known as the gayest among the gay of the fashionable society of the Southern metropolis. Hampton Merlin, stricken with remorse, came to the rather singular resolution of abandoning the profession of a clergyman, which he felt ha had shown himself incapable of honoring. He went to Texas and i specalated in land for a few years, and loosing what money he had, through his inexperience in business affiirs, engaged in the Mexi can border difficulties, • and finally was shot in a skirmish on the Rio Grande. A Good Joke. ——o— A good joke is told of a little four year old fellow who, having disobeyed his father was about to incur the penalty of a switching. The father deliberately prepared a rod while his son stood a sad and silent spectator. As the parent ap• preached to the unpleasant duty, the boy started at a brisk run towards a neighbor ing bill. The father pursued, and for a time the youngster increased the distance between' them, but gradually his, strength began to fail,-and when he reached the hill and began to ascend he soon lost his- vantage. Nearer and nearer the irate father approached, and as he came with in arm's length of the little fugitive, who was ready to full from exhaustion, the boy quickly faced about, dropped upon the ground, and. with an indescribable cast of countebance, exclaimed,— ."Papa. that—makes a fellow—blow— don'tit?" This "changing the subject!' was so extremely ludicrous dot the father 'laugh ed heartily over the strategy which his hopeful sun exhibited, - and the rod was not used, Tennsi i iIiTy: T DO_NAII9I PER YEAR IN AIWA PA /I IN ADVANCE* SO CIS.

Are thy tear-drops flow ing For one so early lost to earth and thee-, The depth of grief no haraah spirit knowing, Which moat in secret like the moaning sea— • God knows it all Dost thou look back upon a life of sinning? Forward and tremble for thy future lots There's One who sues the end front the begin ping; Thy tears of penitence is nnforgot— God knows it all! Then go to God! Pour out your heart before him! There is no grief your Father cannot feel; Ind let your grateful song of praise adore him— To save, forgive, and every wound to heal -God knows it all? A Great Enterprise. _o_. A bill was introduced on Friday in the New York legislature (certainly one huge enough in its scope and inten tion), proposed by Senator Graham, pro vidiug for a tunnel under the Hudson river, between New York city and New Jersey, for the piirpose of allowing the transportation of freight and passengers. The Hudson tunnel railroad company is the destinction of the corporation au thorized in this bill, under the supervision and direct ion of three practical engineers, who shall be appointed commissioners for the purposi, two by the governor and one by the mayor, to commence a rail way from any point 3,000 feet easterly of the North river, and between Cham hers and Fourteenth street, an under ground railway, to run under the bed of the Hudson river and connect with a similar railway on. the Jersey side. The railway is to passers all the powers granted under the general railroad law: Notably excellent provisions of the bill require-the approval by the mayor and common council of all the acts of the commissioners and the exetution of a bond by the company before work is com- MCCIOCti, holding the company responsi ble fur any damage to corporation or p roperty holders.—Neteark Adrerfiser. Chief Justice Catue's Wives. • Cum Jusuen ()LUSE was three times. .arried to young anti handetrma women. Ills first wife, Kate Garness, was the daughter of a wealthy Cincinnatian, who, was the originator of the Ohio Life and Trust Company—that concern whose disastrous failure precipitated the panic of 1357. This lady was truly beloved by Mr. Chase, and it was the romantic pas sion of his life. Ile preserved her let ters, portraits, and souvenirs of affection to the last, and they were the most prized of his effects. This lady_ was a brunette; she had two children, both deceased.— The second Mrs. Chase was Lydia Smith of Cincinnati, mother of Mrs. Sprague. The third Mrs. Chase, mother of Mrs! Nettie Hoyt, was Sarah Bell Ludlow, a superb woman. She always addresSed the Chief Justice for some quaint reason as "my dear Percieval." The two chil dren of the Chief-Justice have been sulk jeets •of his pride, and perhaps of his ambition in later years. It.xcepting Mar tha Jefferson, we have' not had in emi nent life any daughter who has made the promotion of her father 83 much a mat ter of heart as Mrs. Sprague. —Oath. Walking. —o— There is no exercise more beneficjal than the innocent and independent one of waking, and ncthe so cheap. The woman who can walk to church, to school,•to a neighbor's two or- three mil .s away, is every way better off than the one who rides in her carriage, because the former will receive ten-fold more strength and pbysicial vigor froth the pedestrian ex ercises, to say nothing of the' mental stimulus, which iS no small item. To more the greatest benefit from walking. it should be practiced daily. A little stiff ness of the limbs, a few drops of rain, or a cloud in the sky, peed not deter one from a walk. It might keep the carriage and horses from venturing out, brit good rubbers, a water-proof wrap, and a felt hat on a woman are entirely becoming' and will protect from an ordinary rain, and the elation of spirit consequent upon the Waving of a little inclement weather is worth ri great deal. Queen Victors is an excellent walker, and so arovery many of the English ladies of high rank.
