The old man stopped, and a clcud came
over bis wrinkled brow, for there was a

and .a blessing upon her lips though the

more low, and in his heatt he wished that
be could forget all but the lew fleeting
joys of his wife. But he could not forget
that it bad been whispered how bis wife
might have lived longer, ifsbe bad bad

Ah the reflection would not remove

ctty stairs, and looked thro' a crack in

And she prayed.

wept long and bitterly iu her little gar-

her cheeks were dry she came down and

A few days after this, Noah Bremen
approached his cot. one morniun, he heard

saw Walter Adams with his child. Hert'I

Noah Dremeu stopped to bear no more,
and as he walked away, he muttored to
himself.
'The rascal ! He'd do great things.

When the old man gained his accus
tomed walk among the groat sycamores,
he wiped something from his eye. He
acted as though a mote had been blown
iu there.
Two weeks passed on and Agnes grew
pale and thin. She did not sing as she
used to, nor could she smile as had been
her wont. Still she murmured not, nor
did her kindness to her father grow less.
Oh, God ! help me to love my father !'

then he spoke thus:

. Value of land in Kansas.
The Kansas correspondent of the Bos
ton Journal writes:
Thus far, during the present season,
the dull limes have prevented people from
ruhing as wildly into speculation as they
did last year. A few days since a lot iu'
Leavenworth, whieh was bought for 2,
000 last year, was sold at forced sale for
5 '

000. 'Ibis deterioration is unusual:

that tho bard times will be oer before
another Spriug, and that next season will
be a "flush" ouc. In that case we may
look for a repetition of the scenes of last
year, though property is not likely to riso
with such an unhealthy rapidity as it did
then.
In many of the towns, during fn'o"
Spring of last year, lotJ went up 100 per

A Revolutionary Incident.
Mr. J. T. Headley is publishing in a
New York weekly religious paper, "The
Diary of a Chaplain in the army of tho
llcvolution." From the last chapter we
extract the following:
"Sept. 18( 1770. I was told an inci
dent to day, that illustrates more painful
ly tbe unuatural war now raging between
the Colonics and mother country, than a
nything I have before heard. At the
battle of Bunker Hill, as the British were
advaucing through Charlestown, to tho
attack, a soildier entered a house where
the husband lay eick. His wife was
young and beautiful, aud hearing the
soldier in the next room went out to meefc
him. He immediately addressed insult
ing proposals to her. Being angrily re
pulsed, he attempted violence, when her
screams aroused her tick husband from
his bed. , Nerved with the sudden ex
citement he leaned up, and seeing his
. wife struggling in the arms of a British
( soldier, rati him through the body. Tho
, man fell back on the floor, and as his eye
met that of his destroyer, he shrieked out
j "my brother!" The recognition was mu
' tual and, with the exclamation, "I have
killed my brother," the over excited in
I valid husband fell dead on the corpse.
These unhappy brothers were Scotchmen,
One had emigrated to America several
years before, the other had joined the
English army, aud after a long separation
had thus met to perish together."
