It was a litlla sweet ftvco Ihatcami Iobm
just nt a time whort my bnr wnsbat ocar
x tho billow. 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

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 : ' . .,

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.

O, how I loved that child ! I often won

And from tho love born with its birth,
there sprang such a new feeling of tender

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

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

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

Near at hand, in a quiet cottage, lived his
