Yaughan crit-d just enough not to 1 redden her nose; Vuughun did the dignified . pitttr fitmiliat to a charm; and George and ! Katie were so nlVcctionnte as to give the world iu idea that here was a match made : in heaven. Tho bridal breakfast over, the white moire antique nnd orange flowers wcro laid : a-side, and the pretty traveling suit of uljnic- ' ca, with nnztirino biuo trimmings was don- ' ned the sweetest love of a thing Madame' D'Aubrcy had made up lor the season. Then ' there was the little bonnet of gray silk to i match the dress, with its blue face-trimming to match KutioV eves ; tho golden bird of j paradise dropping its plumngo over the i crown ; nntl it was sucti a nue morning, onu every thing looked Tprnpi'.ioits j and in the midst ot congratulations and kisses, Ocorge and Katie started for the depot They arriwd just in season. The whistlo sounded in tho distance. George buckled up ins traveling smtwi nnu ivaue graspeu her parasol. "George, dearest," said the bride, "do run out and see to the trunks ! 1 should die it, when wo get to tho Falls, my clothes should r.ot bo there 1 It would bu dreadful to be oblieed to iro to dinner in my traveliiift dress I 'Go see to them, there's a darling 1" Georgo vanished ; tho truin pulliing and smoking shot into tho depot. Conductor popped his head it.to the ladies' room, shout ing at the top of his voice : "All abound for Danville I Come, hurry up ladies 1 Five minutes behind time and another train due." Katie did not know whether sho was bound for D.invillo or uot ; probably sho had better get in and let Georgo follow. So slie entered the long and smoKy veuicie icei ing very much at sea, anil ready to cry at the slightest provocation. Tho conductor passed by her. seat j she caught him by tho arm.

"She's probably already in the train, sir," said a ticket agent of whom he made iuqui- ry. "iuu UlU going iu luiiuiu, 1 mm jhu mud ; that's the train to Uuffulo ; you'll like- Bud her there.

Sho was uot on the train. "Most likely bIio got on the wroug train and went by Uroton, said tne conductor, -uro-ton is a way station fifteen miles further ahead. Wo stop there fifteen or twenty minutes for refreshments. You'll doubtlesa find her there." Tho cars flew over the track. Ocorge mentally blessed the man who invented steam cngiues ho could reach Katie so much sooner. Dear little thing 1 bow vexea and troubled she must be and desolate con dition. .

Tho old lady was intiignani, ana mi ueurgu a ran with her umbrella that spoiled forever . 1.:.. 1 1 - the lair proportions 01 ui uuuui uvoiu, but ha was too much, engnged in ttiougut 01 his lost brido to spare a regret for Lis hat. lie flew through tho astonished crowd, mashing up a crinoliue here, and knocking over a small hoy there, until he reached the clerk of the station. Yes, the clerk believed Hi pro was one lady woo bad come alone she had gone to the Dulvidcro House she must be the one, , Georso waited to hear no more. He bur ried up the street to the place, where the landloid assured him that no lady like Katie's style haa arrived t perhaps she bad stopped at Margate, ten miles back. Geortro sciicd on the hope. There was no train to Maruate until the next morning, but the wretched husband could not wait alt night he would walk. He cot diroctfoni about the roads t waa told that ii waa a straight oue for the most of tbe way through the woods rather Innpaome but nleasaut. He set forth at once, nolatopping toiwaliow mouthful. Excitement had taken away his appetite. Tho fine da; had developed into a cloudy evening tho night would be durkcr than usual. Georgo hastened on, too much excited to feel fatigue too much agonized about Katie to notico that bo had split his elegant French gaiters out at tho sides. After throe or four hours hard walking ho. began to think that something must bo wrong. lie ought to bo approaching tho suburbs of Margate. In fact he ought to havo reached tho village itself some time before, lie grew a. little doubtful about his being on the right road, and began to look about him. There was no road at all, or rather, it was 11 road ; for all vestige of fences and wheel tracks had vanished there was forest, forest everywhere. Tho very character of tho ground beneath his feet changed at every step he took. It grew softer and softer, until ho sank ankle deep in mud ; and, suddenly, before he could turn about, he fell in almost to his armpits. Ho had stumbled into a quagmire 1 A swift horror came over him 1 People had died beforo now in places liko this and it would bo so dreadful to die thus, and Katie never know what had become of him. Ho struggled with the strength of desperation to free himself, but he might as well have taken it coolly. lie was held fast. Thus slowly the hours wore away. The night was ages long. Tho sun hud never taken so much time to rise in ; but probably it realized that nothing could bu done until it was np, and w as not disposed to hurry. A soon as it was fairly light, George be gan to scream at the top of his voice, in tho hope that Romo ono who might be going some' where might hear him. Ho amused himself in this way for nn hour; and at tho end of that time you could not havo dis tinguished his voico front that of a frog close nt hand, who had been doing his best to rival our hero. At last, just as George was beginning to despair, he heard a voico iu the distance calling out "Hallo, there ! is it you or a frog?"' "It's mo," cried Georgo, "and 1 shall bo dead in ten minutes 1 Come quick ! I'm into the mud up to my eyes 1" I Directly au old woman appeared, a sun bonnet on her head and a basket on her arm. She was huckluberrying. "The land sake," cried she, "you're in for it ain't ye!"' i "Sarvcd ye right! I'm glad of it! j Didn't ye see the notice that the old man I put up, thut nobody must come a hucklc . berrying iu this ere swnmpl" j "Hucklebcrrying !" exclaimed Georgo ; angrily. "You must think a fellow was .beside himself to como into tho jungle, if ho knew itl Hucklebcrrying, indeed I I am alter my wile I ' "Land sake ! Your wife I AVell, of all thines, I never I" "She got on tho wrong ttain, and so did , I ; and I expect file's at Margate, and I ; started from Grotou last night to walk there, and lust my way. Help mo out, do, ', that's a dear woman." The old woman steadied licrsclt by a j trcCi ,ui being a woman of good muscles, she soon drew Georgo out mud from head , to foot- uL, Bho0k himself. There, if vou'U show mo tho way, I'll go right on " "No you won't, cither 1 You'll go right over to our house and have a cup of codec : amj something to eat, and a suit of the old man's clothes to put on while I dry your's ; nnd 1 1! i-e ul Tom over to Margnte with the horse and wagon to bring your w ife." "You're it trump," cried Georce, wringing her hand. "God bless you! You shall bo well rewarded for your kindness." Mrs. Stark's house was only a little way I distaut, nnd to its shelter sho took ueorge. Tom was diapatched to Margate to hunt up Mrs. Jameson ; aim ueorge, arrayed in a suit of Mr. Stark's clothes blue swallow tailed coat, home made gray pantaloons, cow hide boots, and white lint with broad brim for the Starks were friends felt like a new man. They gave him a good breakfast, which did not coinu amiss; and, while Tom was absent ; tho old lady made him lie down on , tl0 iou'ng0 nlui tuke a nap. Tom returned nhout noon. He had scoured tho whule village, but found noth ing. Only one passenger had left the train at Margate on the previous day, and ho was an old man with patent plasters tor sale. 1'oor Ueorge was Irenzied. Jle rusued out of the house aud stood looking first up and then down the road, uncertain wlucu way to wend his course. Suddenly the train from Grotou swept past, and a white hankerchief was swinging from an open wiudow, and above the hankerchief George caught the gleam ot the golden hair and blue ribbons ! It wus Katie beyond a doubt. He cleared the fence at a bound, and rushed alter tho Hying train. He ran till he was ready to drop, when he cume upon some men with a hunu car, who were repairing tho road. Ho gave them ten dollars to take him to Grotou. Ho was sure he could find Katie there 1 But no! tho train had not stopped at all This was tho express lor lltillalo. liut a bystander informed him that a ladv answer inir the description ho cave of Katio had been seen the day before at Danville, cry iug, and saying that she had lost her hus band. George darted off. Ho caught with avidity at the hono thus held out. It must bo Katie 1 Who else had lost her hus band. A train was just leaving for Danville. He sprang on board, and sull'ercd an etcr nity dm-intr tho triint.it, for it wns an uc com moil.it ion train, and everybody knows about those horrible delays at every sta tion. Hut thev reached Danvillg at hist. Georgo iuriuired tor the lady who had lost her hus bund. Yes, she was all right. Sho bad L'oue to tUo American House to watt for him. She expected him by every train, till he came, said tltu ticket master. He hurtied w ith nil speed to the Ameri can. Yes, she was there, said the clerk she was waiting lor her htuiband ; room 221 right ItaDd, second fliuut. Usorgo flew up stairs, burst open the door of 221, and entered without ceremony She was sitting by the window looking for him, with her back to the door. He sprang forward, aud holding her in his arms, rain ed kisses upon htr faco. "My Katio 1 my darling! my darling J have I found you at lastf" She turned her face and looked at 01m before she spoke, and then she set up euch a scream aa made the very hair stand on Goorge'a bead. "You are not my James 1" aha cried. "Oh, heaven I Help! help I Somebody come quickly I I shall be robbed and mur dercd! Help I help 1 murder ! thieves I" Georgo stood aghast. Tho lady was middlu-aged, with false tooth, and a deci dedly snuffy looking nose. K nioro like the charming little Katie tliun she was like tho Venus do Medici 1 No turned to flee just as the stairway was alivo with pcoplo alarmed by tho cries of the woman. They tried to stop liiiri, but would not bo Btayed. lie took the Btairs at a leap, and landed somewhere near the bot tom, among tho wreck of three chamber maids, and us many white-aproned waiters. And before any ono could seize him he was rushing over tho front steps. A lady and gentleman were slowly ascending thom, and Georgo in his mad haste, ran against tho lady and broko the riin of her bonnet. "You rascal I" cried the gentleman with her, "what do you mean by treating a lady in this manner!'' and ho seized our hero by the collar. Then, for the first time, George looked at tho couple beforo him. " 'Tis Katie 1 Oh, Katio 1" cried he, for this time there was no mistake; it wns Katie and her undo Charles. "Oh, my wife 1 my wife 1" He tried to tnko her in his arms, but she fled from him in terror. "Tako that dreadful man away," she cried. "I urn sure he is insano or drunk 1 Only see his boots and his awful hat !" "I tell you I am your own George 1 Oh, Kalic, where have you been?" exclaimed ho. Kate looked at hira now, and recognizing him, began to cry. "Oh, dear 1 that I should havo ever lived to eeo this day 1 My Georgo that I thought so puro and good, faithless and intoxicated! Oh, uncle Charles, what will become of met" "My dear niece, bo patient," said her uncle. "I think this is George, and we will 'near what he has to say before condemning him. Mr. Jameson, 1 met your wife in the cars yesterday, and she informed mo that you had deserted her at the Windham depot. Of course I could not be lieve that your absence was intentional, and I pursuaded her to remain hero while I tele graphed to tho principle stations along the road for information of you. Why did I receive no answer?" "Because the telegraph docs not run into old Mr. Stnrk's huckleberry swamp, w here I had the honor of spending last night," said Ueorge, losing his temper. "hut tins extraordinary disgtuscC "My clothes were muddy, nud I havo got on Mr. Stark s," Bind George. And though the explanation was not particularly lucid to- those who heard it, they were satisfied, "My dearest George !' cried Katie, rush- n g into his arms, "and so you did not desert me, and I shan't have to bo di vorced " "Jscver, my darling ! nnd we'll never bo scperatod again lor a moment." ".No, not for all the bajmatro in the world ! Oh, Georgo, you don't kuown how I havo suffered." The crowd could bo kept iirnorant no longer, for scores had assembled round tho hotel, drawn thither by the disturbance. Matters were explained, and cheers long and loud rent the air. The landlord cot up nn impromptu wed ding dinner, at which Katie presided; nnd George, looking very sheepish iuMr. Stark's swallow-tail, did the honors. I hey proceeded on their tour next day. nnd soon afterward Mr. and Mrs. Stark were de'iyhted to receive a box by express, con taining the lost suit of the old gentleman, nnd tho wherewithal to purchase him another beside the most handsome drawn silk bon net for Mrs. Stark that tho old lady had ever seen. "There, old man," said she, turning from the gluss at which she had been surveying herself m the new bonnet, "1 nllers told you that huckleberry swamp would turn to something if it wns only to raise frogs in. uuess I hit it sometimes. ' MISCELLANEOUS. A t'oNtly llrltlgr. When Pemberton's retreating forces burn ed dowu 15ig Black river bridge, two divi sions of our pursuing columns, unprovided with pontoons, improvised their own cross ing. Great quantities of baled cotton were stored near the river. By means of cables extending across tho river, tho bales were fastened to each other in tho water, two in width, uutil a sullicient number was used to float a superstructure of string pieces and plank, on which the troops and trains cross ed tho next day. The bridge wus built in 0110 night the mon working by short reliefs and lighted by large' fires on tho shores. The lumber used innts construction was ob tained from a cotton gin which stood near by. Tho material used iu this perishable structure was estimated at if 1 40,000 value in cw 101k. Clean Ui This is the seuson to clean up, says an exchange, Clean up the street, lanes and alleys remove all the rub bish and deposit it in some out ot tho way place. Clenn up your houses nnd cellars, and prepare for tho coming warm weather, Iu this way you will save much annoyance, trouble, and in many cases, removo that which may cause disease and breed pesti lence.

Sol, Hers and sailors who make application for bounty back pay should ho very careful w ith whom they trust their discharge papeis, or they will have them spritled away, no ono knows whither. Since the introduction into Con gress of the bill for tho equalization of sol dier's bounties, hundreds ol people of doubtful reputation have been stuttering circulars broadcast over the country, stilting that tho bill will soon be passed, ami advis ing soldiers to send their papers to the wri ters of the circulars at onco, so that the bounty can be collected as soon as the bill passes. Soldiers cannot be too "careful of their papers, and in selecting agents to pro socuto their claims should choose those only who are of established reputation. One of the wickedest and most successful hoaxes perpetrated on the first of April this vear waa the work of a lady in Philadelphia. She sent up to the pulpit, in a Methodist church, a notice purporting to announce a meeting In aid of another church. A number of names of prominent clergymen were men tioned as to take part in the exercisea. The preacher read the manuscript to his large congregation without hesitation, until be came to a passage announcing that a certain layman would aing a comiaong, whaa he be came confused suddenly, remembered the day, and abruptly tat down. By tho simple invention of moulding common bricks, with dove-tailed grooves, in various ways, by mnans of which they caii bo more firmly cemented together, a de cided improvement in tho construction of brick walls appears to havo been secured at a little or no additional cost. Many of tho wealthier families of New York, Philadelphia and Boston, are going to spend the ensuing summct iti Europe. Some of them aro already packing up to go'. All tho steamship lines anticipate from this source a more profitable season than thry had at any timo since tho beginning of tho late war. The Montreal papers state that in tho Court of Queen's Bench the prisoners charged with attempting to kidnap Georgo N. Sanders havo been formerly' acquitted. This has happened through a technical blunder in taking the depositions beforo the Police Magistrate, by whom the prison ers wcro committed. ' ' The New Orleans Pieoyune, alluding to tho statement that B. W.

An unknown woman, too poor to pay ,thp fare across the regular bridgo, at Troy, X.

No ono knew her name or his tory, but it is supposed that she was the mother of a littlo boy who was fouud cry ing in tho streets Xor his ruqtbcr on tho same evening.' Goon News. There is some hope for an end of the rinderpesj at last. Tho cowi have taken up the subject. Wo rejoice to find, from a Bristol paper, that they havo called a meeting. Hero is the advertisement, and we hopo that many influential cows will attend; -."Notice. A meeting of tho milk-producers In and around tho City of Bristol will be holdcn in the large room at the Bunch of Grapes, Nicholas street, on Thursday next, at three oclock . in the after noon." The dairymen of Cnoinatti boyo piet and resolved that the price f pure milk, on and after May 1st, shall be ten cents per quart. This news is tho reverse of encouraging to tho people who havo been anticipating a reduction in the cost of living in con9o quence of tho decline of gold. Tho press of that city very naturally solicits informa tion in regard to the assumed fact upon which their decision is based. The only prisoner at Massachusetts Statu prison, at Churlestown, subjected to closo confinement for life, is James Wilson, who was incarcerated lit 18C3 for the murder of a fellow convict named Adams. He com mitted tho deed on tho very day he hud completed a sentence for stealing. . Ho was formerly a good mathematician nnd meta physician, but he has lost most of his mental powers by his Jong confinement,. A "Japauess" w,rltcs to the London Shir to correct a false impression in relation to the Tycoon. Ho says "the Tycoon is not Emperor of Japan, but only a commander, whoso duty it is to execute tho commands of tho Mikeado, who stands really supremo in tho midst of Niphon, (called Japan by foreigners) and orders' everythjng relating to tho whole country." Money is very scarce in Russia, and 7'J per cent, is frequently charged figr money loaned. Immense numbers of estates are for sale, but no purchasers present themselves. The most important commerce ot tne lttts sian empire, that of cereals, is at a oompleto Stand still, there being no demand for expor tation. The Atlanta InteVuieneer gives the follow ing striking facts: Within tho limits ot forty-six counties composing this, tho fourth revenuo collector's districf, there are over three hundred distilleries. No wonder "corn" and. "peach" are so abundant. But for the tax imposed upon these articles, they would bo "cheap as dirt," ami, as a friend nt our elbow suggests, uot auy better. SECIPES, &c BitowN Bukad. Take flour made of gooi wheat, ground dowu without bolting ; uso good yenst only for raising ; make up aud bake as every good bread-maker does with fine flour. It is better to buko in a moderate heat aud rather longer thau required for flno flour. By adding about a tablespoonftlll of good molasses (when kneading) for every ordinary sized loaf, the bread will retain its moisture and softness till several days or a week old. To have it Ut Irotrn, make the sponge oi fine flour, and when light, knead into it as much of tho bran flour as will muko tho dough stiff enough for moulding luto loaves. As this -kind of bread is particularly adapted to pet sons in delicate health, and invalids, all acids and alkalies should bo avoided iu its preparation. Made in tho foregoing plain, simple manner, it is a very superior article. Too much cau hardly be said iu favor of good, light, sweet bread, forming, as it doe so staple an article of food; while that which is sour, heavy or imperfectly baked, as fre quently happens, is not only unwholesome at best, for any one, but entirely unfit to bu eaten by persons of weak digestion. To tho dyspeptic, sedentary, and those of costive habits, good bread of unMted heat flour, is an almost invaluable article of daily food. It is not only easier of digestion, but by its coarseness and roughness, acts mechanically, and aids in producing regular habits of the system indispensable to good health. Ger mantijtcn 2'clojrnjiA.
