MARION LEE.
BY 3111 S. C. 11. PARLISIAN
MAIiTON LEE, the blind mother, sat alone in
her cheerless, comfortless home. The warm
breath of summer, speeding on her way the
lingering footsteps of the gentle spring, came
quietly through the open casement, lifted lov
ingly the golden curls from the white forth ntd
of the sleeping babe, as it lay folded to its',
mother's bosom. Soothingly fell the zephyr's
holy kiss upon the pale brow—the cluck,
whence the rose-leaf hue had long since faded
—eyes, once brilliant, laughter-loving, now I
sealed by • the linger of him who •• doeth all

tifully chiseled mouth. Why should the;

around upon the bare walls and lloor—the mis•
crable, broken furniture—then count, ;I . you
can, the brutal blows—the fiendlike curses
which have been showered down upon her du;
fenceless head, and you will indeed wonder that
she should smile.
Yet, upon the sweet breath of that summer
wind, her mind has been borne far away from
the gloomy present ; and a gain , in childish
glee, she bounds out upon the verdant lawn,
swinging her little sun-bonnet, and shouting to --
her merry companions, who, as though that Crying again . said a rough unfeeling

The little innocent being, whose advent she had
fondly hoped would win the erring father back
to a life of sobriety and virtues she was not per

up those beautiful Orbs, leaving her in dark
ness and gloom. The father, instead of sympa•
thizing in her deep afflictionS, caressing his
pretty babe, shunned more and more his home ;
and when he cattle, he was no longer a man,
but a Ottte.
She pressed her infant to her aching bosom,
and tears—which had long lain with crushing
weight upon her buruing . beart—streamed from
those sightless eyes, and fell like a summer
shover upon the brow of the innocent sleeper.

souled boy, who, perceiving his design, stepped
lightly aside.' His adversary, striking his
head against a rude bench, fell heavily back,
and though bleeding profusely from the wound,
the crowd collected around said, " It would do
him no harm—it was poisoned blood at best ;
the less ho has of it the better for him."
A stranger had been stayed a moment in the
hall by the mention of the name, Bill Lee.—
Drawing the young man aside, he inquired,
" Can you tell me aught of William Lee ? Did
he marry Marion--?"
'• He did," replied his companion.--" She is
an angel, too. For the first year after their
marriage he was a sober, upright, honorable
man—kind and of towards his wife.
Then he was enticed by evil companions to this
house, and now he never goes homo sober.-
His property is nearly all gone. They have a
lovely babe; but, since its birth, Marion has
been nearly blind. Not one pang of pity or
remorse ever enters his bosom. He only cur
ses and beats her the more. Some evil mind
whispered to him that she had loved another
crc she had wedded him, and this he basely
makes a plea for his fiendish conduct."
The stranger seemed violently agitated ; but,
controlling his voice, he said- -•' Can you con.
duct me immediately to his residence ?"
" I can, and will. I was intending to go
there, for lie has just left here in a towering
Fission, and I fear she will sometime fall a vic
tim to his brutal violence. But for the kind
ness and interference of neighbors, who almost
adore her fin• her sweet gentleness, she would
doubtless long since have shinibered peacefully
in yonder lone church-yard."
Marion Leo was borne bock to the home of
her childhood, which she had left a few years
before, the world thought, a happy bride, and
accompanied her husband to the West. That
husband, who, after her departure made sere•
ral ineffectual attempts to obtain a reconcilia
tion, soon died--died that most horrible, most
loathsome of all diseases—dehrittni tremens !

Strains of low, sweet music floated on the
balmy air, and were echoed by " earth's my
riad music-voices,"`as the holy hush of evening
fell like a sacred veil around the little village
church. Again Marion Lee bowed before the
aged minister, to repeat those solemn vows
which had once bound her to a life of misery.
But it was uow no " lip service." Her full
loving heart spoke in every trembling word
The noble form of Rudolph Manners knelt by
her side, clasping her hand tenderly in his, and
as the words uniting in one those hearts so long
and so painfully separated by misery and un

Allentown, Pa., *ember 19, 1855.
He understood the deep yehrning love which
spoke with such silent, yet powerful eloquence,
in that mute appeal ; and as ho led . her back
to the carriage, he whispered fervently—" As
'heaven is my witness, I will be a father to
your lovely boy." The carriage drew up be
fore the almost princely residence of Rudolph
Manners ; and in this beautiful hoine, as the
circling years of blissful happiness till swiftly
by, gloom and darkness of the past are remem
bered only as a wretched dream.
William Lee, the idol of his parents, gradua
ted with the highest collegiate honors, and then
gladly entered the field an uncompromising
'champion of Temperance. Few knew the se
cret, of his glowing, enthusiastic eloquence.—
Few knew that ever before him floated the vi
sion of that pale, blind mother, as patiently she
receives, and falls beneath the blows of an in
furiate demon—and of that father, who fight
ing with a whole pandemonium of evil spirits,
at length breathed out his wretched life in bit
ter, terrible, fiendish curses!
From the Louisville Journal
To P. W. A.
I am thinking of you now, my love,
I am bringing up the past,
Our meetings and our partings,
The early and the Inst.
O'er the magic glass of memory
The phantoms brightly glide,
And visions of the past come up
Of love, and joy, and pride.
I run thinking of that day, my love,
When first I told to thee,
But with faint and palsied utterance,
11. w Hera• thou wart to me ;
And of those timid accents,
And blessed v.ords of cheer,
Which, like the rain on thirsting earth,
Fell on my ravished elm.
I ant thinking of that walk, toy love.
Then our solemn troth was spoken,
When vows were registered in Heaven,
Which never may be broken;
Of the calm and happy joyousness
IVbich took the place of sadness,
And banished every gloomy cloud,
Filling my soul with gladness.
I am thinking sadly now, my love,
Though fondly, of our parting ;
'When sighs could hardly be repressed,
Nor tears be stayed from starting;
Of the night when last together,
God witnessing above,
We parted, sad and sorrowful,
Bat strong in hope and love.
I think of thee, my own dear love,
When my soul is overcast
With shadows, and I think of then
When the evil cloud is past;
And do I err, my guiding star!
In deeming that to thee
The poet comes up in .
Amid you sometinies think of me?
Philadelphia Water Works.
The first water works' of the city were erect
ed in 1790, the basin was on the Schnykill, on
the upper side of Chestnut street, the motive
power was steam, the cost $657,308,01. The
income during the thirteen years these works
Were in use was slos,3sl,73—deficit over half
a million.
The old central engine house shown in the
engraving stood in the square now traversed
and divided by Broad and Market streets.
In 1815, the Fair Mount works were put into
operation ; the motive power steam, cost 8520,-1
058,84. The supply proved small and expen- '
site. In 1818, the authotitics determintd
upon the plan now in operation. The Schuyl
kill 000 feet wide. and.3o feet greatest depth,
with an average rise and fall of six feet, end
subjezt to violent freshets is traversed by an
angular. dam of 1600 feet, affording an overfall
for the stream of full 11:00 feet. The back•wa
ter reaches six miles. The pumps are wort ed
by the water power thus secured, and the sup
ply is at once ample and chetip.
There arc fine• reservoirs, which togtther
a cover a space of more than six acres, and ar •
capable of containing twenty-two millions of
gallons. They •are 102 feet above the level of
the tide in the Schuylkill, 06 feet above the
dam, and 56 feet above the highest ground in
the city. Previous to the year 1821, the water
was distributed through the city by menus of
wooden pipes. they measured about 52 miles
There is now more than 150 miles of iron pipes
in use. •
The expense of supplying the pity by steam
power with the quantity of .water now used
would be $200.00 per day, while the cost by
water power is $7,00 per day. • The income
pays the interest on the loans for the construc
tion and leaves a surplus for the use of the
city.
In the city the cost to each family supplied
with water by a private hydrant is $5,00 per
year. Hotels pay from S5O to $lOO : manufac
turers, according to quantity used from SIO to
$750. Horses $l,OO per head. Bath in dwel
ling $3,00.
Tho average doily supply of water is about
175 gallons to each tenant in the city and liber
ties. The demand during the summer months
is neari one third more than in the winter
months.
The capacity of the present works is thought
sufficient for a population of half a million.—
The elevation of the ground at the Girard Col
lege is eighteen feet above the reservoirs at
Fair Mount. The Eastern Penitentiary is also
above their level.
Fair Mount, with its fine grounds and fine
views, the perfection of its machinery, and
ample capability of watering the city at a tax so
low, yet more than repaying the cost of con
struction and repairs. is such a success that it
is unmatched by any similar enterprise in the
world.

BEANS rou Sour.—The use of beans a 8 an
article of food, is not so considerable •as it
should be. Beans are the most nutrious of all
kinds of food used by man. Chemical analysis,
! and the experience of those who make eaten
! sire use of them. demonstrate this. To make
good bean soup, take one quart of white beans
and a shank beef bone, and boil all together for
; two hours, then add salt and pepper for sea
scling. The use of bones is not so much es
teemed as they should be in food. By boiling
