An old woman sat by her bright flrcsldo
Swaying thoughtfully to and fro,
In an ancient chair whose oreaky eraw
Told a talo of long ago ;
Wbilo down by her sido on tho kitchen floor,
Stood a bosket of worsted balls a scoro
Then the spoke of the time whon tho basket thcro
Was filled to tho very brim,
And now the,e remained of tho goodly pilo
But a single pair for him.
Then wonder not nt the dimmed eye-sight,
There's but one pair of stockings to mend to-night.
For each empty nook In tho bosket old,
By the hearth there's an empty scut;
And I miss the shadows from oil' the wall,
And the patter of many fcot ;
'Tis for this that a tear gathered over my sight
At the ono pair of stockings to mend to-night.
'Tis snid that far through tho forest wild
And over tho mountains bold,
Was a land whose rivers and darkening caves,
Were gemmend with tho rarest gold ;
When my first-born turned from the oaken door,
And I knew tho shadows wore only four.
Another wont forth on the foaming wares,
And diminished tho basket's store
But his feet grew cold so weary and cold
They'll never be warm any mora ;
And this nook in its emptiness secmoth to mo
To givo forth no voico but the moan of the sea
Two others have gone toward the setting sun,
And made them a home in its light,
And fairy fingers havo taken their sharo
To mend by the fireside bright ;
Some other bnskot their garments fill.
But mine ! Oh, mine is emptier still !
Another the dearest, tho fairest, tho best
Was taken by angels awny,
And clad in a garment thnt waxeth not old,
In a lnnd of oontinual day.
Oh, wonder no more at the dimmod eye-sight.

Irss from the icing on the cake to the tir- :

Jlrs. 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

oblieed to iro to dinner in my traveliiift

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.

"Oh, yes, yes, all right," said the official,

Meanwhile Gcnrgo having seen to the bag
j gago it proceeding that hud occupied mote
time than lie luul inteuilea returned to tne
ladiea' room to fiud Katio mibsing searched
about wildly, inquiring of every one ho met,
'without success.
"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. JU3t Btartiug, uot a mo
ment to lose."
Georce urasned the railing of the hind
car aa it fluw by, and, flinging open the door
ho rushed through cur alter car, out sccKing
iu vain for Katie. 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. .
Hut It seemed aces to George before tliey
whirled uu to the ulatforiu at Groton, and
them he did r.ot wait to practice any courte
sy, llo leuped out impetuously, knocking
over an out laity wuu a uowi-r put uim u

and putting the birds into hysterics. Tho

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.

A Wpr.D of Caution. Sol, Hers and

back pay should ho very careful w ith whom
they trust their discharge papeis, or they
will have them spritled away, no ono knows

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

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
