A C"M":natkn. tjome thirty years ago, iu Washington county, N. Y., before ready made shes came in vrgue, a venerable shoemaker, O.d Phu?nix. was in the habit of going from hnue to house and there making up boots and shoes lor the families tinder "his jurisdiction. Among the rest of his customers, lie visited the family ofMr. Parish, and shod old and young. One ot the bovs was endowed with a big pair of stogy boots, and on the succeed! nsr Sabbath went to church much m re occupied with the boots than the sermon. At the mjon intermission, when good old Dr. Proudat came around, as was his custom, to cate chise the youngsters, the boy's .thoughts still run downward. The old Doctor com ing up to the boy, in his turn, inquired of him : "John, who made you?" 'Daddy found the leather and old Phoenix did the work!'' was the uatural but enexpected repy. Remarkable March of a Cow. A cow belonging to General Sherman's mess, went with Sherman's army all the way from At lanta to Savanah ; thence to Goldsboro. Lal eigh, Richmond and to Washington, where she is now at the Soldiers' Home. During all the marches she gave a gallon of nnlk a dry Total number ot miles travelled since November 16, 1864, to May 19, 1S65, L 220. She is now in excellent condition, and gives one and one-quarter gallons of rich milk a day. The National Republican says : 'It is needless to ? dd that this veteran bovine 'bummer' and her lacteal products will be well cared for and highly appreciated at the Soldiers' Home.J' It i a notorious fact that the copperhead orators who most bitterly oppose t e negro, are the same who most malignantly embar rassed the Government in its efforts to crush rebellion. Thus these rascals would rot do their own duty, nor will they allow a just credit to be rendered those who discharged their obligations to the Government. AN OFFICES IN WASHINGTON. A Narrative of Facts for People at Home to Eead. "My dear, here is a letter from Senator , in winch he writes, that the place iu Washington U now ready for my acceptance. 1 had better go at ouee, aud leave you here to settle up matters at h Hue-. Why, you lo k as solemn as a Judue. One would thiuit i had received my death warrant, in stead ct a snug birth in the Interior De partment. lieuiember my dear, how hard I have to work at my protessjon here, and then only earn about a thousand djllars a year." "Uut we are-living so snug and happy here, and are known and regarded kind.y ty those around us. All wui be ne w and strange to us there." "That is true; but I am tired of vegeta ting here, and in Washington we shad see fcometloi.g of 1 do. So t-hetr up. We shall wonder in lime how we managed to exist here." I turned f way from my husband with a deep sigh; aud inwardly consigned Senator to any place but a comfortai.de one. We uvea in a small inland town, in the vicinity of Mew York. Far enough to a void all its bustle aud dirt. Near enough to have all the advantages of its proximity. My husband was a lawyer, and until he piuuged headlong into the vorte.x of politi cal l;lc, our lives l:ad glided smoothly along with bcarceiy a ripple to disturb their calm n.;s. Now, the monotony wearied him, and with a heavy heait I commenced making the necessary preparation incidental to our depaitu.e. I need nut tell those who have passed through this ordeal, how harrowing it is to the heart to prepare for a sale. To think, w hd j deanitig and arranging for this event, that it is the last time your hands will place your pet pieces of furniture and ornaments in their accustomed places ; and wdio is there who has not a number of such pets? However, the day arrived when strangers were to carry them away. Tiie sale was over, our home given up and we on our way to Washington. 1 bore up brave ly, and tried to enumerate the numerous ad vantages uiy husband had been so industri-ou-iy plying me with, of an office at t. e Capitol, ll-ontens the balance stnl seemed to Lo iu favor ot our own home; but. thj;., I thought men see things so ditierentl) Irour women, 1 Uare say George is light. We arrived eany in the, day, and our ride up Pennsylvania Avenue did not tend tj cheer me. It iad beeu raining for fcsme aays, and the streets ) resented a Jack sea of mud. Houses of ad shapes aud colors, eah me entirely independent of its neigh bor ; some towering aii d't rive stories high, while others stood meekly, very shanties. "Is tins not a very duty place, George?" "Of course, my dea , every place looks dirty alter such rains as we have had." 'i'es, hut the ho.iMis. wear an untidy ap pearance. " Nonsense, my dear, you are prejudiced." ,1 thought of our ueauaful cottage, sur rounded oy its tastefully appointed garden, and its neatly rravel.ed waiks. aud wondered it my husiiaud was mad. "11 axe you -u good room in the boarding house you have c. osen '" 1 ventured to a.-k. "Yes, quae so! Mr. F, an 1 his wile are living iu tne same hoase, aud they say it is goon as any." ; "As good as any ?" I echoed, inwardly. Very nhijl p.an3. A short me enabled us to reach what was to he our house, lor the present at any rate. Tne appearance of the eutrv and staircase led me to believe that the inside of the houses were iu excellent keeping with their exterior. After ascending two flights of stairs i reacued my room. It was io ig and narrow, aud covered with a faded dirty car pet. The furniture consisted of bedstead, hureau, xvashstand and txyo chairs, each and all looting very much worse for wear, and as it they h: d been entire strangers to each oth er until some happy auction saie had group ed them here together. 1 will venture to say their manufacturers were very xvide a part. It occupied but aS'ew moments to take in the .beauties ot my domicile, and to contrast it with our chamoer at home, furn ished with every comfort, and even elegance tor 1 must own to have a fastidious taste in such matters. With a heavy heart I sat down to await the re-urn of my husband, which was not long delayed. Our trunks had arrived, and I e was marshalling tin ir way to our room. I retrained from speaking. After the men had safely landed them, and closed the door utiou themselves, the silence was broken by Mr. Kiroys who said, rather hesitatingly, "M ' dear,' I am afraid you will ti 'd things rather different from what you have been accustomed to, but after we are settled, we will be able to arrauge matters more com fortably." I tried to smile, but it was a sorry attempt. After taking such things from our trunks as we immediately needed. I threw myself up on the bed, and after George left me, confess to weeping most bitterly. How should I ever be able to exist in this way? At five o'clock the dinner bell sounded. This seemed to be the signal for the opening ot every door upon our iloor simultaneous ly. I "gave a hasty glance at my fellow boardersCas each and all paused to turn the key in their several doors and deposit them in their pockets and bad my husband who was passing on regardless of any such pre caution, to turn and do likewise. 1 heard theejaculation," What a bore! and thought what very trifling things do bore men. The dining room was a cheerless apart ment. In its centre stood two lng tables, the appointments of which, were, in their I day, I have no doubt, in good taste anu t t. hut rfinstmit, lisase has worn the plating off castors, spoons and forks, iintil the original metal stood out in bold relief. The food seemed abundant and ot tair qual ity, but carelessly prepared and quite cold. I was too thr roughly wretched to have any appetite, and my husband ate but little. Our stay at the table was short, and alter our return to our room, I could no longer control uiysed, but burst into a violent tit of weeping. George tried iu vaiu to soothe me. "Why, Mary, I am astonished at your childish uess. You could not expect to find in a boarding house the comforts of a home." "No," 1 replied, "but why leave those comforts?'' "There is no use discussing that now. It is done. L'esides it is not kind to reproach me for what you kuow conduces so much to my advautage. At home you are axvare how often i have sat studying and writing until far into midnight. Here my duties cease at four o'clock." 1 ceased weeping instantly. "You shall never hear another regret. I did not thiuk of that." Aud yet, those very" midnight studies, how much of comfort there was in tliein, be side our cozy hearth. Rut away with re gret. Time passed on. Some of the fel low boarders were pleasant, others quite the contrary. But I saw little of them, except iu the dining room. Ine hist month of my stay rolled axvay more rapidly than I anticipated. A first visit in Washington mesents so much to in terest that 1 half forgot the discomforts a round n.e. Another month rolled on. Scarcely an evening passed that 31 r. Elroy was not com pelled to return to his ofliee, to finish some writing that he had been unable t finish during the day. The one aixantage which he had seemed to prize most leisure time to pursue other studies he cerlainly had not gained, lor upon his return at night he was weary, tar too weary with the close ap plication to his desk during the day (so eu tireiv different from his old liie) to read with pleasure. "George, I thought your time would be at your disposal alter four o'clock, instead of which you return to the odice every even ing. " "Yes," he said, "but I do not think this will last, 1 believe there is au unusual press 6f business just now." "1 trust it may not ; for such constant confinement tells upon you." , " Yes, I am sensiole ot that. The duties, too, are so diiferent from my old studies, thut they are irksom? to me. However this will wear off in time." I could u t help contrasting the wearied expression xvhich his face wore, with the old happy look, and be more than ever convinced what a sad mistake he had made. Rcgi:!ui'y upoa the M.siday oi the month my husband returned from the office with the lruit of his labors in his pocket, viz : one hundred thirty-three dollars and thirty three cents. First to our landlady, ninety dollars; wash bill, five dollars ; and thirty eiht dollars and thirty-three cents were left to pay ad incidental expenditures scarcely suilicieut to pay for Georges mid-day lunch, aud the oysters he insisted upon getting at eight, because "he was hungry." "Are not our expenses enormous here ?" I ventured to inquire. "They certainly are much heavier than I antic pated." "Quite double those at home, are they not?' "I am afraid they will prove so.' I could u it understand what petunary ad vantage had accrued to us, but patience. I soon tout) 1 bodily discomforts were not the only ones in store for mc. My bus I ands habits, always of a very dome.-tic na ture, were vi.-ably undergoing a change. The confinement to our room annoyed him. Littl.' by little hfs absence became more pro longed, until I rarely saxv him now from dinner-time until ten, eleven or twelxre o' clock at night, as it happened. He must go around to the hotels and hear what was going on. I could uot expect him to stay in our rooui all the time. He must smoke and that was impossible in a cham- 6ne evening in particular, I remember feeling uiiusuady depressei.and hurried iu my owngloomy thcutiht.sl was more than sur urised unou looking at my watch, to discover L had sat until nearly midnight. Mr. Liroy Had not returned. uere eoun uc ue . The thought had scarcely suggested itself, xvfieu 1 heard the sound of ascending steps upon the stairs. A feeling of disappoint ment fell heavily upon me. They were not my husband's, and vet they approached my room, aud were followed by a knock upon j my door. . ., , , 1 cautiously turned the key ana saia, "Who's there?" "Me," was, the reply, in a strangely thick tone, and yet my husband's. No one can realize l he horror with which I legaidi d him when he entered. His eyes were blood shot and .swollen; his hair dis hevelled and his whole appearance bearing evidence, terrible evidence to me, ot intoxi cation. 'What, on earth Mary are you doing up until this time of night?" he hiccoughed- "you ouitht to have been ir bed two - hours I could not speak, my heart was too full. My husband had never beet a teetoller. but in all our married life I had never aefa him under the influence ot stiuiulents in the slightest dearee had never feared that I ever should do so. Only wives who have been pl-i.-ed in like situations can imagine the agony 1 felt. . . I went to lied, but no sleep visited my pil low that night. It seemed a though it would never end. My husband lay in the deep unconsciousness of intoxication by tuy side. His labored breathing and whiskey perfumed breath proved too great antidotes to rest on my part. Heaven in its mercy preserve me from a hke vigil ! Sickness even death, were less terrible. But its agony was not fruitless. I arose the next morning firm in my determination to quit Washington, let the cost be what it might. My husband arose moody aud feverish. I avoided all allusion to the preceding night, aud tor the tiit time since our marriage we parted without, as we termed it, our good bye kiss. Upon his return to dinner his mood had not changed, but he did not, as had been his wont of late go out. He follow ed me to our room, and throwing himself on the bed, soon fell into a deep sleep. This lasted some hours how long 1 did not know; for after lighting the gas, and shading it, that he might not be aroused by its glare, and adding fresh fuel to the fire, I sat down in the rocking chair, and wearied with the wakefulness of the night before, and the troubled thoughts of the day, was overcome by slumber. I was awakened by my husband. He was bendingjver me with a look of tenderness I had not seen on his face lor some time. "What are youjdreamiiigof mylove? jou sigh so deeply," he said. With difficulty I aroused myself. The memory ot my sorrow and the look ot love were too much for nerves stretched, as mine had been ail night aud day, to their utmost tension. 1 threw my arms about his neck, and with my head upon his breast, sobbed convulsive ly, "Let us go home, George ; let us go home." "That cannot be, my love ; we have rent ed our house and sold our furniture." "Oh! that is nothing," I imploringly urged. "We can board there, as well as hera, until wecan again have pose sion ofour home. I would rather work early and late tor the means to live, than remain here an other mouth, at three times 3'our present salaty." His silence encouraged me. "Do not" continued I, "do nat refuse me this. You must know that your salary here will not meet the just demands upon it.even liv ing as we, are xvithout ordinary comforts. I implore you to dispel the madness which in duced you to accept this office, by resigning it, aud returning once again to c ur home and oourpr ofession." "Rat my love, it will seem so vascil'ating. Besides it will take so much time ere my business returns to me. I shall have to work very hard." This had ceased to be my vulnerable point. "And, Oh ! how much better thusthan" I eouid not speak it, but I .-aw by the rising color in his cheek I was understood. A silence ensued for some moments, when Mr. Elroy drew me close in his em brace, as he said, "We will return to our home." "Oh ! the unspeakable jo3 of that mo ment. I had not dared to hope so easy a victory, and would not have attained it as I learned afterwards, but that my husband hud discovered his mistake, and was not un willing himself to return to our old comforts and quiet happiness. His resignation was immediately sent, and our departure quick ly followed. My husband's joy upon oar re turn far exceed my own. and when once more iu possession of our hjaie it seemed to kuow no bounds Years rolled away, when one day Mr. El roy entered the room saying, "My dear how would you like to go to Washington aigau?" I could not speak for some seconds, and tlen only gasped, "Not at all." "Well, as you please. It has been pro posed I should run for Congress." "Gixe me time to think," I said aud thought convinced me I had no right to mar his future by refusing my conser.t to any thing that might be tor his good, even if it carried with it some peril ; so meeting him as cheerfully as I ct uld, I said. "If it is for your advancement, dearest that you should accept this nomination, do so ai d I will humbly leave the rest to Providence. "Nay, love." he answered, "under Prov idence," leave the result with me. Your firmness gave me strength of purpose to re sign my office, aud return to our home and work slowly but surely, in my profession, the memory of that terrible night in Wash ington is yet fr.'sh, and I bow iu humble gratitnde for its lesson. Do not fear it will be effaced. I cannot help looking back up on our short stay there as a blessing after .ll. It gives me renewed energy to work when I think of those officeholders toiling day after day without, in some cases, hope of advancement, and frequently doing agreater amount of labor than w ould insure an inde pendence in any other pursuit.'" My husband refund tjie no-.ninniion. By the steady pursuit of his profession, he ac quired a very comfortable com peter cy, so that he has mainly retired from practice. Four children which were born to us, have been reared in the way they should go, edu cated and settled for life ; and now at the respective ages of fifty or thereabouts, we are as happy in each other's affection, aswe were at twenty-six, and are in the enjoy ment of every blessing which this life can vouchsafe.

Extraordisary ITeanness. We learn by the Washi ngton correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer that a bill was presented last week to the Treasury- Depart ment for five hundred and iitty dollars tor damages alleged to have been done sheets, pillow-cases and carpets, and lor hire of ser vants, at the house in Tenth street, Wash ington, opposite Ford's theatre in which President Lincoln died.

Just as she was walking up th aisle, and as every eye seemed to If turned upon her, the choir commenced sin ting an anthem, the burden of which was "ilalk-iuji h! Hal lelujah!" The indignant spinster retraced her steps down the aisle in high dudgeon, exclaiming: "'Hardly knew you.' indeed! Why, th'i3 is not the first ti i e I've been dressed up.

If the losses of South Carolina were 400 midiens, (which we scarcely believe,) and that of the ten other rebellious States werfl equally large, we can aggregate the pecuni ary losses of the Confederacy at four thous and millions ! This sum i a quarter largir than the debt incurred ly the National Goxernment in its efforts to suppress the rebellion which is estimated at three thou sand millions. A Hard Hit. The following story i told of the Rev. Dr. Morse: At an associ ation dinner a debate arose as to the u:e of the rod in bringing up children. The Doc tor took the affirmative, and the chief opp -nant was a young-minister, whose reputa tion for veracity was not high. He main tained that parents often do harm to their children by unju-t punishment, from n t , knowing the facts of the ca-r. "Why," said he,-"the only time my father whipped me was for telling the truth." "We i," retorted the Doctor, "It cured yoa of it, didn't it?" How to Make a Paradise. Buy one acre of ground. Fence it.
