"Fire jears in the penitentiary Tte wretched wife of the priso ns beard these words like one in a dream, fron which she vainly prayed ebe might wake and Cnd that it was a dream. She saw, with tearless eyes, the prisoner remanded to bis dreary cell, the last closing act of tbe tragedr that bad made a wreck of her whole life, and then leaving ber seat within tbe bar she mingled with the curious and excited throng tbat was surging to the door. "She don't teem to mind it much," ebe beard some say back of ber ; beard it with a bitter consciousness that she was set apart from all hu man sympathy and companionship. If she were like other women ! It tears would come to the relief of the strained nerves and tortured brain ! If unconsciousness would give her a brief respite from the band that seemed tugging at her heart strings ! There were some present who bad known Ruth in her bright and pros p3rous days, and who would fain bave hpoken some words of hope or csmfort; Lot there was something in tbe compressed lips and stony eaze that chilled them ; and eo she passed on ber way alone, asking no eympa tby and receiving none.

"Oh, mamma, is papa free ? Yon said yon would bring him back with you." These words were more than tbe wretched wife and mother could bear. "You bave no father, child!" ebe said, harshly, "and I no busband ; be is dead to you to as both." Tbe wail that broke frcm the child's lips, so unchildlike in its griei and despair, smote upon the mother's heart A Btrong revulsion came over her, and enatchiug tbe sobbing little creature to ber boson, sbe strove to calm the tempest she bad raised, and which finally spent itself in broken sobs and balf drawn sighs. A knock npon tbe half open door aroused Ruth from ber gloomy re flections. J utting tbe child down, she arose, a look of annoyance ming ling with the surprise so clearly vi&i ble in ber eyes as she tamed them upon the intruder, for such be evi dently was. lie was a stout elegantly dressed man about forty, whose keen, restless eves belied tbe emootn, oilv tone in which be said .-'' "I know how distasteful my pres. ence is, and must be to yoo, Iluth. I beg pardon, Mrs. Thornton." added the speaker, as latn raised ber band with tbe old imperious gesture that be bo well remembered. "I thought that your old name would sound more pleasantly to you than the one 80 blackened and dishonored." The man's eyes drooped beneath tbe steady, unf itching gaze tbat was turned npon bira. "It is still my name nevertheless, Mr. Brcoghton. I an Um wife of Richard Thornton ; yoo, of all men, must never forget that" Strangely conflicting feelings filled Mr. Drougbton's heart as be gazed ipon the speaker; with tbe passion ate admiration tbat gleamed forth so cttalthily from tbe half closed eyes, were ciinglcd not a little surprise nd disappointment. He had thought to find ber crushed and bumble, glad to accept bis aid and sympathy, but cot a trace of this could be seen in tbat calm, steady front and proudly lifted bead. That faded dress, those cneau forronndiog", could not rob ber of ber birthright; never bad she looked v regally beautiful; never bad sbe seeoied so unapproachable in ber wotutrJy purity, eo lar away from him, ae oow.

"If an angel from heaven" here ebe raised ber band upward "bad told me that my busband was guilty of eoch a crime. I would not have believed it." "But you must believe it no' ; the evidence is too conclusive for you to doubt," Roth made no reply; but as the speaker looked npon tbe bowed bead tbat was now resting upon her bands, he felt tbat the opportunity he bad sought for bad come. "You have been a good, true wile," be continued, "to a man ut terly unworthy of tbe wealth of love you have lavished upon him. You bave alienated every friend, and beg rared yourself for bis sake, and what baa it availed von or bim 1 Think of your child, and do not make a wreck of her life as well as your own.

It cuts me to the heart to see you, who would grace any position, in such a wretched place as this. For tbe sake of your child, Ruth." ' Light as was .be touch of the band tbat was laid upon ber arm, Ruth shrank from it as from a blow. Perceiving this, Mr. Brougbton drew back, resuming bis place by tbe door. "Pon't decide now; weigh the matter carefully. 1 will come lor your answer to-morrow night." "I'm so glad he's gone." Rnth looked down npon tbe little curly bead tbat wa r rding upon ber shoulder. "Why are you glad, Maud? Don't vou like bim ?" "Xo. I want papa." There was something in this allu- siou tbat stung num. ene naraiy knew wbr. "You can't -are your father, Maud, and I wish yoa would'nt talk about bim." "Whv r Maud strongly resembled ber father, and as Ruth gazed into the violet eyes which were fixed npon hers with such a look of innocent wonder it almost seemed as if be was pleading throngh tbe child with ber. Crashinz down tbe tender and subduing memories tbat rusbed over ber, sbe said in a husky whisper: Your father is gone, Maud, a long way from us both." L nclaspiDg ber arms irom her mother's neck, Maud stood ip, ber clear, childish voice ringing cut with a note of defiance ; He can't go so far away but what I snail find bim some day:" It was late when Rath slept tbat night; and then her slumbers were broken and ber dreams strange and terrible. She remembered only one with anv degree of clearness. Sbe thought she was standing, with ber busband, beside a little coma, when ber wedding ring slipped from ber finger and lay in tbe dust a; ber feet ricking it up, her husband put it back upon ber band, saying as he pointed to tbe coffin, whose occupant she could not s?e for the flowers that covered it. "For tbe sake of our child Ruth !" With a shiver ef terror at her heart Ruth awoke. Springing to her feet sbe bent over the pillow where Maud lay tossing and moaning in ber sleep. "Maud, darling I" "Oh! mamma, my bead! my bead !" At tbe close of tbe following day, Rutb held a lump of clay in her arms, all tbat was left of tbe child ebe so idolized. The kind-hearted neighbors with their proffered aid and sympathy bad gone, and tbe bereaved mother was left alone with ber bitter remorseful thoughts. Throwing herself npon her knees she put up an earnest prayer for aid and comfort. When she arose, tbe waves against which she had battled in ber own strength eo vainly, were still, "and there was a great calm." " l on bave come for your answer, Mr. Broughton ?" "I bave come for my answer, Ruth." Mr. Brougbton gazed upon tbe still sweet features of the dead, and then npon tbe face of tbe speaker, wbicb looked almost as cold and white. "Mr. Broughton, when knowing my weakness and destitution you ap pealed to tbe mother's love tor ber cLild, yoa piacea a strong temptation in my way. cut He who does not suffer bis children to be tempted above what tbey can bear, has re moved it, as yon can see; and thoueh mv heart is too full of an guish to thank bim for it now, I know that I ?ball some day. Go and never let me look opon your evil face again !" A year later, as Ruth sat bending wearily over tbe coarse work in ber lap, a letter was banded ber from which a small key dropped as ebe opened it. It's contents were as fol lows: "Rnth: When you read these lins, tbe band that traced them will be cold in death, and my ear deaf to whatever reproaches yon may besp apoa my memory, lbe enclosed key belongs to a be x, which yoa can bave on application to my executors, and wboM contents will prove your husband's entire innocence of the charge brought against him. "I placed tbe money and bonds in his desk; it was my bands that con cocted the array of evidence which made his guilt conclusive even to yoa Wby I did this I need not say, or yet bow vain it was. It seems as if the fiend helped me op to a certain point, and then, when I stretched out my band for tbe prize I bad blackened my soul to win, mocked me by letting' ce see how far removed it was from me.

As the "grand rounds' it waa his duty to visit the earriaoi guards at night Having sat pretty late at mess and being fond of the bottle, bis gait was very un steady wben be rose from tbe table to proceed to his quarters to dress for duty. Before dressing be threw him self on bis bed, saying: "I'll just snatch balf an hour's sleep ; call ru at 1 o'clock. At 1 o'clock tbe servant attempted to rouse bim, ut without effect Tbe servant gjt tL . officer upon bis feet, shook bim, applied wet cloths to bis bead, but all to no purpose ; the gen tleman bad been going on 6bort al lowance of sleep for a weeic, and now nature bad taken bold cf bim, and being backed by the wine he drank, held bim fost. Tbe servant was almost frantic, knowing well tbe consequences tbat would ensue if his master did not maketbe grand rounds. While wondering what course to pur sue bis eyes fell npon bis master's uniform, sword, etc., and ready laid out for bim to put on. The master and servant wtre about a size ; tbe clothing ef the one fitted the other to perfection "There's no other plau," said the servant to himself; "it's an awful risk, but I'll attempt it." Hastily throwing off his clothing, he donned bis master's regimentals the splendid uniform of tbe artillery buckled on the sword, drew the heavy busby over his brows, and casting an admiring look at himself in tbe glass, notwithstanding bis anxiety, locked tbe door upon bis master and went out The orderly was wailing ia tbe barrack guard room and turned out with the guard to present him self. "Go ahead!" said tbejseudo offi cer. "Which guard first, sir?" "Tbe magazine guard." The orderly led the way. Guard after guard was visited, and tbe ser vant beean to eojoy tbe masquerade. It was something unusual for him to be announced as "grand rounds," and to bave a guard present arms to him. There was no suspicion that the master and the man had changed places for the time being, although tbe subaltern officer in charge of the main euard perhaps felt a little nettled to have bis friendly 6alutatioD,afler tbt guard had been turned in, responded to so irrufflv. On returning to tbe quarters the servant found hia master still Bleep iog. Unable to resist the temptation to admire hiaiself once more in the glass, the servant paraded up and down tbe room, casting sidelong glances at the mirror. While so do ing the officer awoke, ne was not a little surprised to see what appeared to be himself strutting op and down the apartment. He soon discovered, however, tbat tbe apparition was nis servant, and, anxious to know what tbe unusual masquerade was for, kept quiet The servant alter two or three turns sat down and leisurely drew off tbe spurred boots, divested himself of other articles of uniform in their order, and then, heaving a sigh, said: "It's well over." "I should think it is," crieJ tbe of ficer ; "what d'ye mean, yoa rascal, by putting yourself into my uniform, eh?" "I didn't know yoa were awake, sir; do yoa know what time it is?" The officer bad forgotten that he was on duty, but it now Bashed op on bim at once. Jumping from tbe bed he looked at bis watcb. "Half past 4! My God. I'm rained !" Then turninrr to the servant, be said : "Now then, wbv didn't vou call me at 1 o'clock? Do vou know what yoa have done!" "Sir, I might as well have tried to awaken a dead man. I used every means to awaken voa, and you will see by tbe stains on your linen tbat I even del aired vour bead with water." "Too late to take tbe guards now," trroaned the officer : "the night has parsed away and day is breaking." "Never mind, sir : cheer up ! Tbe 'grand rounds' visited the guards ; everything is correct Just make out your report as if yoa bad taken the iruards." "What d'ye mean." "I mean that I bave been the 'grand rounds' to-night, and acted the part so well that not a sool suspect ed but tbat it was yoa. Now yoa know wby I bad on your uniform." The officer stared at his man a moment "Do yoa mean to say tbat yoa have personated me and taken tbe euards?" "Yes, sir, that's it. I personated yon." The officer grasped the servant's band : "Asbton," said be, "you have done me a treat servwe i-nigbt I shan't forget it." Nor did be forget it, and tbe wr ant kept bis counsel so well tbat tbe incident would never have become known but for tbe officer himself, who blurted it out one evening while in bis cups to some of bin associates The story was too good a one to keep, and it quickly spread over tbe garrison. Tbe authorities, however, paid no attention to it, and the officer did not Buffer from tte expose. Horace Vreclry's akee Leather.

"No, that's altogether too small." Then a eboe that was really too large, but that, too, was not large enougn ; then a cloth bboe, so large that Mr. Greeley eooic put nis band in and arrange nia stocking over bis foot so as to lit him.

Here ia an iocident related of bim, when the American army lay before tbe city of Mexico, that reads like a chapter from a meditrval romance: : An English boy arrested as a spy obtained a private interview of tbe General and told bim tbat a Mexican desperado bad sought bis sister's hand, and being refused threatened vengeance a ad obtained from aanta Anna the control of that part of tbe city in which the boy's father, moth er and two sisters lived, and hired a gang of villains who were to plunder tbe bouse, keep tbe booty and deliver tbe girls to this Mexican. Properly disguised the boy bad entered tbe American ranks to beseech assistance of General Shields, whose fame was known in the enemy's ranks. Tbere was little time for debate, and as it was certain that General Scott would refuse to sanction any plan for at tempting a rescue, General Shields got together 400 volunteers and then dashed at the walls. The Americans went over them with a fierce rash, bayoneted tbe few sentries, took the English girls and their parents and started back for tbe American lines. A Mexican infantry regiment which had been turned oat to stop tbem was scattered by a resolute charge, and tbe girls were brought ia safety to Shield's headquarters. Tbe most indescribable contagion reigned in both armies ; the Mexicans were all under arms, apprehending a general assault, and the American command ers turned out their men anticipating a some, bcott was furious, as irom a strictly military point of be view well might be, but the sight of the rescued captives and tbe story which tbey told bim appeased i bim, and General bbields was not court-mar tialed. . i ' . . . ' At Gerro Gordo, his brigade was sent by a difficult route to attack tbe Mexican reserve and cut off the re treat of Santa Anna. So sudden and unexpected was .Shield's dasb, tbat Santa Anna barely escaped, leaving bis carriage, baggage, money and plate in tbe hands of tbe victorious Americans. Jast at this moment, writes a historian of the great bat tle : Shields was struck down while leading bis troops, a big copper grape- shot passing through bis lungs. His soldiers baited to attend to their idol ized commander, but be said to tbem : "Men, I am of no further use to my country ; yoa are. Lay me down and let me die. I might as well die here as to be taken off to die. Yoa are all strong, able-bodied men able to do your country .some service. For God's sake lay me down and go to your duty ! ' But be was not fated to die then. One of tbe captured Mexican sur geons drew a silk handkerchief through tbe wound the silk went in at the breast and came oat at tbe back and cleansed it of clotted gore, and thanks to a splendid constitution and careful nureiog General Shields recovered. And here is another incident tbat illustrates tbe character of the man, and makes tLe blood race lively through the veins as we read and study it: . 1 At tbapul tepee, September 13, Shields was again wounded, this time in the arm, but he refused to retire. Scott had ordered bim to make a demonstration with the Pal metto and New York regiments, the Mounted Rifles and O'Brien's bat tery. Shields made a dash along the aqueduct towards tbe city. Tbe enemy gave way and Shields pressed tbem hotly to prevent tbem from re forming. General Seott, who bad in tended tbat Wortb should deliver tbe serious attack by tbe San Cosmo route, saw tbat Shields was making too rapid progress and sent two aides to check bim. We mast let General Shields tell the story, which is a wor thy pendant of Nelson's refusal to see Parker's signal of recall at Copenha gen: i didn't want any message from General Scott at that precise moment, and wben the aides-de-camp got with in epeaking range and said: 'General Scott sends bis compliments to Gen eral shields,' I called oat, 'all right, but i navn'i time to talk with you now ; wait a bit' General Scott see ing that we were still pushier ahead at a break neck pace toward tbe city sent ueuerai gunman to me, and my horse having been shot under me, I was on foot explaining to General (Juitmaa that it would be madness for as to desist from oar advantage ana ioai uenen scou never would nave ordered it it be knew bow glo riously we were advancing.

" .' Oaly AFrlater Dream. A printer sat in his easy chair, bis boots were patched and his coat threadbare, and his face looked wea ry and worn with care. While sad ly thinking of business debt, old Mor. pbeus slowly round bim crept, and before be knew it he soundly slept, and sleeping he dreamed be was dead, from trouble and toil his spirit had fled, and that not even a cow bell tolled forth the peaceful rest of tbe cow bide sole. As he wandered among the shades, tbat smoke and scorch in lower Hades, he shortly observed an iron door tbat creakiogly bung on hinges ajar, bat this entrance was closed with a red-hot bar, and Satan binself stood peeping oat, waiting for travelers thereabout, and thus to tbe passenger printer spoke ; "Come in dear : it shall cost yoa nothing, and never fearl This is the place where I cook the ones who never pay their subscription sums tor tbougn in lite tbey may escape, tbey will find when they're dead it is too late ; I will show you the place where I melt them thin, with fed-hot chains and scraps of tin, and also where I comb their bead with broken glass and melted lead, and if of re freshments they only think, there's boiling water for tbem to drink, there's the red hot griidstote to grind his noes, and the i rod tot i riigs' io wear on bis toes, and if tbey men lion tney aon't lite nre i ll sew op their mouth with red hot wire ; and then, dear sir, yoa should see tbem squirm, whea I roll them over to cool and turn."
