It was but a short timo threa yssrs that I called her mine; but looking upon tho past, I tremBlA to think It was just Inifore the late war but ween the North and South lltnt I becamo the wits of H navy rjflil er- He Was many years my senior, but it was a union of hearts for all. lie was roanrvod and dignified as be csipe his position I was gny mid lilit hcartcd almort to frivolity, I think now. He often pleasantly chided me, for my gayety ; aay mo J aaight to settle down now I had got such an1 bid-fashioned husband. But i anew ha was, most pleased when I Wat TrtDsl eheerflil.'so I accepted his chid ing in the spirit in which they were admiu istercd. I At the breaking out of the war my hus band was ordered to L- , a small station erected for the emergency, there to take command of a vessel being tilted out fur service in the Mississippi squadron. Of course I accompanied. L was a small town of no-note until the wan converted it into a noval station, thus bringing labor and money to its inhabitants. Of tho so-1 cicty the less said the better. There were quite a number of officers sta tioned there, most of them married men, who, with their wives, made up our society. We were constantly resorting to ways and means to kill timo. There was ono family of sortie pretentions In the place who fre quently joined our circle, and at whoso housa we wero quite as frequently invited ; but owing to my husbaud's retired habits, wo ourselves seldom went. This was not altogether satisfactory to one of my temperament, and when I would hear the t-fflorre' wives talking over these festivities, I longed with all tho fervor of 11 child to participate in them. 'You are burying yourself alive oue would say and auother add, Tou aro as old as your husband now.' And Mrs. Stanhopo, the wife of a surgeon, once ad vised me to go without him : 'other ladies do 11. she added. But my pride and com mon sense forbade that. I had always considered it a wife's duty to respect the wishes of her husband, aud I was a little surprised that Mrs. ' Stanhope, a lady at Jeast fifteen years my senior, should thus advise me. One night the officers were to give a ball ou board the boat then in my husband's command. It was the- first regular ball, they had given the previous entertain ments were merely social parlies. Ar rangements hud 'been made to make this quite a grand affair for that out-of-the-way place. '. .i .... My husbaud had uot altogether approved of the measure,' although he had couseuted to it. ' ' " " ; . Tou will surely attend,' I remarked as hp expressed! his disapprobation. 'It being on board your own vessel, it would hardly wok wen to stay away. 'Yes, I will go ; but, Clara, I heartily disapprove of such festivities at a timo when our country is so overshadowed with war.' . Tha evoningof the-ball at length arrived . All so far had been eulirely favorable, and a delightful time was anticipated. The dance had already commenced, when an orderly came in search of my hub band. There hud conic a dispatch orderiug my husband to report at M at once. 'I leave you in charsjo of Lieutenant Mor ris,' ho said, as he imparted tho news to roe, at the same time bowing to the Lieute nant who was with him. 'I accept the trust,' he replied gracefully- -'"Q"- " ' 'I shalf probably be back tho day after to-mnrrow at the farthest,' ho continued, and biihlin? mo good bye, wo parted. Lieutenant Morris was tho oldest olllcpr in the squadron there except my husbaud. lie was unmarried, very affable in his man ners and upright iu deportment, and a uni versal favorite. Flushed with gayety, I entered into the enjoyment of tho hour w ith a keeu relish. '1 ou are a fiuo dancer, Mrs. J?.' said my companion as ho led me to a scat after a quadrille. 'How is it you have never at tended our little select dances before ?' 'My husbaud does uot enjoy thctu,' I an swered. ' 'Is that a suflkicut reason ?' bo asked in a half whisper. 'I think so,' I replied a littlo haughtily. 'Then you are no champion fo.r woman's rights.' he answered gayly. Is it fair to judge nm by thai ?' 'Perhaps not. But see "they aro going to waltz. You waltz, do you not V 'Not often, nud I must beg to bo excusd to-night.' He bowed and wcut to seek another part ner, and soon I saw him whirling down tho cabin with Miss Chesbro, a lie ice of Gover nor West'b To say that I was pleased with tho en tertainment aud the attentions I received, would but express very faintly my delight. I was charmed, intoxieuUd with it, and loyal as I was, scarcely gave oue thought to my absent husband, who, at the time I sought my state-room, was ruling fearlessly the storm midnight iu obedience to orders. Aiiouay ou which my nubiiauil Had ex pected to return came and passed, aud the next also, still he ciima not ; and I though accustomed to disappointment of this char acter, grew restless and uneasy. To return the compliment ofthe officers Governor West had issued invitations to a ball, to bo given at his residence just oue week from tho night of ours. ' A uumber of the elite from tho neighbor ing city had been iuvited, and tho affair promised to be a very brilliant one. This may bo thought a very short time in which to prepare for. a ball, but it must be remembered that the vessels were daily ex pected to leave the station, and there was no time to spare. 'Of course, you will go,' aid Mrs. Stau hoie to tuc. 'I am undecided,' I replied. 'If my hus band returns, it shall be as he says. If he does not return I hardly expect to go., 'But you arc in my charge,' said Lieu tenaut Mortis, 'and I, as your guardian, hall insist ou your going.' 'Stop I Lieutenant, as I understand It, I was only put in your charge for that eve ning,' answered playfully. 'Oh, no, Mrs. B. there was no timo speci fied. You are still under the shadow of my wing.' r Ya "bannered each other from feeling the gay spirit I assumed for secretly I very much wished to attend the ball, and I knew If my husbaud. returned, my goiug was ,doiihtfl 'f he dy passed, aud another, wheu, ineUad of my husband, there came this dispatch : ' . ., 'I am unexpectedly detained. It will bo impossible fbr rod to be with you for at least ten days. Meantimo enjoy yourself as best you can., , Lieutenant 'ilorris will sec that you aro comfortable.' ' '. " .; ' ' 1 At any other timo I should have been ready to cry at the prolonged absence of my husband, but I confess to a secret gratifica tion upon receiving the dispatch. IIe(could not bo nt home in lime for the ball and had ho not expressed a desire for mo to enjoy myself y I showed the dispatch to ' Mrs. Sluuhopo, who instantly advised mo to ac cept tho escort of the Lieutenant and at tend tho ball. I think that It was a know ledge that she would advise men to go, that prompted mo to show her my letter. Still 1 did not feel at rest. I had a sort of pride that rebelled against my appearing in society without my husband; but Airs, istnuhope's arguments and the Lieutenant's eutreaties at length scattered my scruples, and I resolved to go. My early life my girlhood days had been passed in strict seclusion, and my hus baud 's quiet tastes had made my married life almost as solitary iu regard to society. Is it much of a wonder then that I was al most carried away by its gay scenes ? The evening Came, and in company with Dr. Stanhope and wife and Lieutenant Morris I Went to the ball. The Lieutenant was exceedingly attontivc, and I received many attentions from others ; still I was ill at ease. Several times I caught myself wondering if people would think mo un married, or worse still bis wife ; and once or twice I fancied that the Lieutenant half smothered the Mrs. when introducing me to his friends. 'Have you enjoyed the evening, Mrs. B. V he inquired as we walked homeward. Oh, very much,' I replied, with mucli fervor. 'I hope nothing will keep you nway from such gatherings in tho future.' 'That is more than I can promiso myself. You know Captain 15. does not enjoy balls.' 'ISut it is unfair to keep you from them. Perhaps in his younger days he was moro favorable toward them.' 'Perhaps so,' I replied, 'but is he an old man yet V 'That depends upon what comparisons one might make,' he replied. I saw, or fancied I saw, iu his remark an allusion to the disparity of our ages, but 1 made no reply. The next day hrought my husband. 'Do you euro that I wcut ?' I asked after I had told him how I employed my time. 'Not at all. It is very lonesome here even wheu I am with you ; it must bo in tolerable when I am gone. I am glad my little girl enjoyed it.' 'There is to be a horseback party to morrow,' I said, nervously toying with the buttons of his coat. 'Is there y Well?' .. 'Shall wo go ?' I asked. 'It would hardly he a pleasure for me, as I have been iu the saddle for nearly ten days.' Although I said nothing, my face must have expressed my disappointment, for he very soon said : ; ' 'Do you wish to go, Clara ?' ' Very much.' . 'Would you bo satisfied to go without me V . - 'Hardly.' Then supposo'we slay at homo. I should enjoy loading this volume with you more than riding oue,' and he tunned a beautifully bound little volume in my lap. At another time I should have screamed with delight, for it was what 1 had so much longed to see a copy of Enoch Ar den. ltut now there canto no response, no word of thanks from my lips. He seemed disappointed, but said nothing as he went out. I was just in a mood to feel unkindly to ward every one, and more unkindly of all to my noble husband. What right had he to make me conform to his tastes. Then I fell to thinkiug how cruel it was to bring me away from all uiy earlier friends and bury me alive iu that miserable, dull town. Surely, nil meu were not so reserved or so fogyihin as he, aud.woiidertd if I should not havo boen more satislied with oue nearer my own ago. Then I found myself amoug comparisons, ever a daugorous train of thought for a wife. Somehow, up permost iu niy mind duringall this mental harangue wa.i Lieutenant Morris, with his handsome face and genial ways. I blush with shame as I recall theso thoughts, but I was angry and disappointed then, and just in a mood to think myself very much abused. I must havo behaved shamefully III that day, for in the evening my husbaud came up" to wlturo I was sitting, and layiug his hand on my shoulder, said in a very low calm voice : 'I would uot willingly givo you pain or deny you one pleasure. I cannot ntteud you to-morrow, but if you wish, I will pro vido you with an escort.' 'Oh, do!' I exclaimed, so eagerly that the calm look in his eyes grew painfully penetrating as he tixed thciu sadly upon my face. I wcut with the party, nominally under the escort ol Dr. Stanhope and wile, but it was Lieutenant Morris who rodo by my side, who praised my ridiug, my figure and geueral appuarauce with - more warmth than pleased even tuy insatiable vanity. After that day my husband seemud di lib rent. He was as kiud us ever, evcu in dulging mo more than previously, but the old teuderuess was gouu. I missed the stolen caress, the pet warmth the thou sand little endearuesses that had before made my life so sweet. Had uuy one giveu me a whispered h tut that mv heart was growing disloyal to my husband, or that Lieutouaut Morris soughlj uiy company witli pleasure, I should have repelled the accusation with indignation. I had uo thought ot anylhiug wrong. ISut then, why was I so pluasod with his socie ty y Why did I care so little whether it was he or my husband who rode by my side ; who walked with mo aud scented al ways ready to attend me. It was because I loved flattery, aud ho tilled my measure to iutoxicntion. The Summer had ripened into autumn, aud Autumn was merging into Winter ; still, coutrary to all exiKJctatioue, we weru yet detained at the station. Mrs. Stan hope had set her active brain to work con juring up festivities for the Winter, and her programme was the promise of oyster suppers, card parties, aud baits enough to suit the liveliest taste, and I, so far from Ueiug surfeited with society and pleasure, was almost beside myself with the delight somo privileges. The old home delights of reading and convsrsation, that had once been bo pleas lug to me, wero now disliked and neglect ed, except at intervals, when prudence and duty would assert themselves. My husband never rebuked me, aud but seldom accompanied tno to those gay scenes ; but I had become so accustomed to appearing without him that it scarcely mattered auythiwj whether' ho attended me or not. t New Ncrlen, Vol. S, o. 81 I Old Nor leu, Vol. 83, So.

But a merciful God Interposed, With a pitying eye ho saw ray folly; and sent a messcugcr of grace a sweet pledge of love to snatch nie, It may be, from ruin. ' , O, how I loved that child ! I often won dered if mothers thus loved their children. And from tho love born with its birth, there sprang such a new feeling of tender ness toward my husband that 1 never dreamed could exist. Had I realized then, as I do now, the mission of that child, I should have been prepared for what follow ed, lint that was not revealed to me till my heart throbbed with the agony of deso lation. For throe years this messenger of lovo and peace cheered our homo and hearts. Then death robbed me of my treasure. Ne ver was death more desolatin;. nor sorrow moro deep nud murmuring, followed by a sweeter, calmer, holier submission. Though years havo passed siuco then, my old love of gayety has never returned. The whispers of vanity have bceu unheed ed. The loyalty of my heart has uever been questioned, becauso 1 find a purer joy in a life of devotion to Him who, when folly had well nigh ruiueu mo, raised His holy arm in my behalf. And, to-day, as I scatter fresh (lowers over the grave of her whoso guileless soul led her mother's feet back to duly and right, I bless ray inmost soul, Hint "who gave, who took, who will restore who doclh all things well." Jay Cook! Home near 1'hilixlelpliia 'Oath" writes that twelve miles north of Philadelphia is the mansion of Nicholas Kiddle, which he obtained by his marriage with Miss Craig, and remodelled by the aid ofThos. V. Walter, whom Uiddle had se lected to design Oirard college while presi dent of that trust. It is a large, old build ing, improved with a Greek portico, and in a wiug was the library where lliddle wrote his attacks on Jackson and Van Iiuren, and his defense of his career. This place was called "Andalusia." Nine miles back of Philadelphia, on the waUrs of Tacouy creek, is "Ogontz," the residence of Jay Cooke. It is a villa ofthe native syenite of the hills pointed and set in blue mortar, with iron verandahs, Man sard towers aud pavilions, and all tho ele gancies afforded by modern resources and improvements. A flower walk with beds uud terraces, closed by a mock rain, in which fireworks were set off ou national holidays, is the vista from that sido of tho house, where, in a groat recess with paint ed walls, the conservatory is maintained. Trom tbo opposite verandah there is a view of grass beds, sprinkled with pools and fountains, sloping dowu to the creek, which is made to desceud in cascades ; aud here the mausoleum of the family n beautiful edifice in marble makes thohoadland to a capo of timber. Tho land attachud to this noble mansion Is about 200 acres in extent, and is covered to a great degree with natu ral woods, chielly oak, chestnut,, sycamore aud hivkory. Tho hills in iull that region are hih, and tho country slronj: and sto- ! uy like the native ixjople, who belong to a liara type ot (junkers, Welsh, Scotch and old(ieniiaii aboriginals. About one mile from Ogontz is a small turnpike village called "Xetv York llnad Station," or Shoemaker Town, where Mr. Cooke had buildcd his church a quaint aud attractive specimen of early Knglish Gothic. Prom this village Mr. Cooke went daily to the city by train, Sundays except ed, and if he ever remained at home through indisposiler or satiety lie commu nicated with his banking house by tele graph. Two small, black Vermont ponies were his own roadsters. lie was a good neighbor the best ever known iu these parts aud plaiu and cordial in his ad dross. At home he lived a parcnlal life, being a widower and fond of his grand children. He spent little upon himself, but was proud of his residence ; and it has been believed in that region for a good while past that he had prescuted Ogoutz to his daughter, Mrs. llonney. The portraits in his house most notable to see were Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Chase in oil and marble, L. W. Clarke, Phil. Sheridan and his owu fa ther, Klenthcws Cooke, who had been re interred iu his family vault. Ono of the last of his purchases was a small album of Moran's views of tho Yellowstone, for which he gave 81,000. IIo had a largo li brary which he had no timo to read ; and as the employer of many servants, ho was kind to all, but not profligate in wages. His dwelling aud grounds wmflj have brought ono year ago, 2 000 an acre, al though ho probably spent that aggregate amount ou his house alone. Ilia expenses at his dwelling could not have U.-eu less thauilOOO a week as long as he entertained commensurate with his4iouse and business. Near at hand, in a quiet cottage, lived his agent, General Xcttletou, of Sundusky, tho active man nt advertising nud selling the bouds. Cooke had a private secretary aud phouographer, about fourteen servants at the villa, about two hundred employees iu his three banking houses, and a vast pay roll iu his railroad and insurance touipa. nies.
