CROSS AND CROWN.
Tick, tick ! Tick, tick ! Tho hands were
rapidly nearing the evening hour of six,
and the brazen face of the little clock
seemed smiling defiance to the still scorch
ing rays of the sun, who appeared deter
mined never to go down ou that hot, hot
day. Though the heat w:is intense, yet a
blazing fire burned in thy' kitchen range,
and rows of fiat-irons testified to a busy
day. On one side of the table stood a
large basket, with a few unironed articles
still in it, while on the other, the clothes
horse, groaning beneath its weight, told
a story of toil. The door and windows
were set wide open to catch the passing
breeze, which occasionally came' in, and
lifted the damp locks from the heated
brow of the woman, who steed at the
table, intent upon her work. , How grate
ful and cool it was !—and 113 she hung up
the last piece, and folded the ironing
blanket, the weary limbs failed her, and
she sank upon the narrow door-sill.
Pressing her aching head upon her hand,
she looked out, beyond the high brick
walls and smoky chimneys of the dusty
city, into the west, 'from whence those
refreshing breezes sprung, and 'toward
which her whole heart yearned, is the
home of her children and her child
hood. Softly memory brushed away the
cobwebs that obscured the past, and the
soul of the woman took a retrogade bound.
Again she stood among her childish
haunts. Every moment is filled with joy.
There were the berrying excursions, and
nut-gatherings, with a good dinner in the
woods by the side of, the murmuring
brook, which marked the summer' days ;
and there were plenty of joys, too, for the
winter. Coasting on the hill with the boys,
and long rides with father on The huge
sled, so warmly wrapped that not _ a
breath of frosty air could gain admittance,
and snugly ensconced in the bottom on
piles of straw,—were her chief sports
during the long cold months, She loved
to linger 'mid these happy scenes, which
bore not the shadow of a care, but they
faded away, and she beheld herself a
maiden, with the blush of womanhood
arising on - her brow. She remembered
the first dawn of love in her heart, and
her girlish pride in her noble, dark-eyed
lover, whose stern, puritanical sense of
right awakened in her heart a species of
worship. Their wedded life realized all
her hopes of happiness. Three beautiful
children were given them, and Heaven
smiled upon their labors. Life is not all
sunshine, however, and the dark days
came. The husband and father was sud
denly stricken down, and for months the
fatal breath of consumption sapped his
vitals. Ahd now the woman's soul stood
forth. There was a deal of energy and
strength in that frail form• and untiringly
she labored. Farm-work, house-wotk,
and the care of-her little ones were faith
fully attended to, while the beloved part
ner of her soul lacked not -one necessary
comfort. The cords were tightly draws,
but they were held by love ; and through
days and nights of anguish, she never
failed in duty. Finally, there was a change.
The fell destroyer came ; and one dreary
night, with his hand firmly clasped in that
of his faithful wife, and his head pillowed
upon her bosom, the husband died, and
left one empty, desolate heart to mourn
for its idol. Cares now thickened. Her
guiding star had set, and she groped in
darkness ; but God walked with her, and
prospered the work of her hands. Her
children grew, and discovered talents.
which should have culture. How should
she educate them ? She could ill afford
to send them away, and in those western
wilds, little chance was offered for the at
tainment of knowledge. What wonder,
then, -that. when an elderly stranger from
a distant city came, and asked her for her
hand, that she hesitated ? In winning ao
cents he represented the benefits which
by such an union would accrue to her
children ; and in glowing pathos, de
scribed the unfortunate condition of his
own motherless little ones ; working upon
her great heart until she consented to
leave her'home, and go with him She
told him that respect and esteem was all
she'could give, for though the tall grass
of years waved above her husband's grave,
yet he was her maiden love, and her heart
was buried with him. So they were mar
ried, and for a time all went prosperously.
Her sons grew in knowledge, and went
out to seek their own fortunes. Her
daughter. the idol of her heart, became
all she wished, and was early in life hap
pily united to the one whom her heart
I had chosen. Again, however, the sky
I became -overcast, and the deep mutter
! ing of the withering thunder was heard
in the distance. Lisses succeeded each
•
• other in quick succession, and finally the
storm burst, and poverty stared them in
the face. Then began the man's true
nature to show forth. Strong and confi
de nt in prosperity, he became weak in
adversity. His disposition, always quick,
became tyrannical and insulting. Like a
strong tree, smitten by lightning, the
blackness of his heart appeared now, and
• the' delicate vine which had twined about
him, became his chief support. And now
again came out the strong soul of the
woman. A large house was rented, and
rooms for boarders advertised. The house
was soon filled; and the inmates all loved
their refined and lady-like hostess; but
the unpleasant disposition of 'the host,
whose broken spirits sought to vent them
selves in cutting 'sarcasms, was a great
sTurce of annoyance; so much so, that
constant.cldanges were being made, thus
injuring the reputat ion of the house to a
great extent. Yet this true heart bore all
patiently ; and though sometimes the
olden fire leaped into her eye, and a sense
that she was oppressed came into her

heart. they were quickly crushed. And
as she sits there in' the waning au:flight,
a golden glory from the west sheds its
halo around her, and her countenance is
that of one transfigured.
Hr reverie is at last broken by the ap
pearance of a young girl about seventeen,
who came slowly down the stairs, her
slight form bent beneath the weight of a
heavy pail of water. An anxious expres
sion came into her eye as she perceived
the bent form in the doorway, end in an
instant she knelt beside her, and threw
her arms about the [rail form.
"lifother, dear, how tired you look
And you have ironed all those clothes !
Why didn't you leave them for me to
finish ? I can't bear to have you work so
hard."
" Dear child, you h ye enough to do—
more than your health and streugt'l will
bear already. I wish I could manage
some way that you might be relieved from
so much bard toil—your life is dull enough
for•one so young," and a faint sigh con•
eluded the sentence.
" Now, mother, not a word more. I am
young and laving, and ought to work ;
and I and going now to get tea myself, fer
I hear fatheN step • in the entry, and he
will be' impatient for it."
The old weary look came. back to the
wan face of the woman as the well-known
step was heard, and the bands once more
took up their ceaseless -toil.
" Isn't supper ready yet?" And the
lordly complaining accents were in strik
ing contrast to the soft tones which an
swered, " It -will be ready soon, husband."
" Well, be quick about it," and the tall,
strong man went back to the cool, pleas
ant sitting room, to stretch himself upon
the sofa, and argue politics with one or
two of the boarders, while his frail com
panion hurried to and fro with tired feet
and aching heart, yearning for a loving
word More than -a helping hand. Supper
at last RS9 over, and the dishes cleared
away. Certainly she may rest now. Even
the paid laborer can sit in his door at the
still evening hour, and with his fond wife
beside him, and his children gamboling
around, chat leisurely of the day's events.
But for some there is no rest here ; it is
all work, and a patient waiting for the
peace that comes after thiS life. Such is
the lot of my heroine. The gas is lighted
early, and a huge work basket drawn
closely beside it. To assist their aunty
means, sewing is taken and done ; and
the mother and daughter are ere long en
gaged on the heavy work.
" We must sew fast to-night, dear," said
the mother, mtking an effort to speak
cheerfully, " for the work must be carried
back to-morrow."
" I know it. I never forget when the
days for exchanging it come, for I dread
going to that place or) much You don't
know, mother, how terrible it is to go
among all those coarse, rough men, with
their loud talk and familiar ways, and the
girls too, are even worse, they are so bold."
" I know; Mary, and it distresses me
beyond measure that it must be so, but
you know we can get nothing else no.",
and the help we derive, small m it is, is
indispensable.' But I cannot bear to have
you thrown into such associations. Per
haps I can manage some way to go my
self,"
"Oh, no, mother; no indeed : you are
not able to do everything f can go very
well.; only I cannot but wish father would
try and do something himself. It would
be such a relief. It is only for you I am
anxious; for my own part, I am young
and strong, and can wait for better days.
What is the matter, mother ?" she ex
claimed, half fearfully, as the heavy sew
ing NI from her parent's nerveless fingers,
and the head dropped upon her breast.
" Is your work finished ?" But the death
like pallor deepened on the cheeks ; and
the slight form swayed to and fro like a
reed shaken in the wind. In excessive
fright the girl sprang to her side, chafing
the cold hands, and calling piteously upon
her beloved parent to speak once agiin.
Soon a slight color came back to the white
lips, and, the eyes opened, only to close
again, as she murmured, " I am tired; I
*ant to rest." With shaking fingers the
trembling girl disrobed her, and assisted
her to her room, and a great sigh welled
up from the poor heart as the weary frame
felt again the grateful repose it so sadly
needed.
For several days she lay in a deadly
stupor, speechless and pale. Day after
day the girl's white face bent above her
in anguish, and day after day the husband
left her side for his other pleasured, flat
tering himself that she could not be very
ill, as she uttered no complaint. Ah, she
was past that !
So she slept away, and on the night of
the fifth day, the summons came, the
silver cord was loosed, and she quietly
sank into the chill arms of Death. The
cross had become too heavy ; she could
bear it no longer, and so, with the same
meek . spirit in which it was borne, she
laid it down. She was at peace now. Rest
had at last come, and her glad spirit dew
to receive the crown which 33d had pre
pared for her, and which all the faithful
shall wear.
The thoughtless spirit of the one who
had so carelessly cherished his prize, spent
its grief in childish and vehement sorrow.
He had never thought she cotild die ; that
his sole prop would leave him thus, but
he had now discovered his mistake, when,
alas I too late.
Oh, there are many of these noble ones
on earth whose very lives are starved out
for want of the kindly nourishment which
only love can give, and which sweetens
the bitterest toil. Many who place their
affections on one who from mere thoiught
lessness, refuse the kind word or cheering
smile at a time when the simple act would
make the darkest night-time of the heart
shine out in the brilliancy of the mid-day
sun.
To all who must needs bear this heav
iest of heavy burdens, let them remember
that life is short at best, and that the eter
nal glories of the crown of life are pro
portionate to the weight of the earthly
cross.
With this reward ever before their
heart% it will be easier to bear the cross ;
easier to wait for the crown.

Capture of Davis—The True Story.
PHILADELPHIA, June 27.
To MIR EDITOR Or TER WORLD:
SIR; I hey& noticed in the columns of
Tin WORLD a statement of reasons for dis
believing the absurd reports set afloat in
regard to the capture of Mr. Davis, and
having the facts from first hands, I deem
it but right in the cause of truth to let
you know them.
Mr. Davis, with his party, consisting of
from ten to fifteen persons, was traveling
on a different road from that taken by
Mrs. Davin and her wagons, making his
way leisurely toward the Trans-Mississippi
department, when he was alarmed by re
ports that Met. Davis was in danger of
being robbed by straggling bands of de
serters, and left halite road without means
of moving to shift for herself. He imme
diately set off late in the evening, about
two days before his capture, and rode all
. night to join her. Finding that the danger
was not exaggerated, he remained to pro•
tect her from molestation ; intending to
have resumed his separate journey, unin
cumbered by baggage, on the very morn-,
ing of his capture. The party had no idea••
of being pursued, and the first notifies.;
tioa of it they had was from the irruption
of the cavalry into their camp. Mr. Davis
was sleeping in his wife's tent, and had
not yet risen. The ca-airy were in pos
session of rae c.unp for nearly half an
hour before they seemed to find out whom
they had captured, when some one shout
ed " We've got old Jeff.," or some such
words. When taken, he wttl in bus dress
ing gown, in ,which he had slept, and
acted with the dignity which all who
knew anything of him, friend or foe,
would have expected. Ile was treated
with perfect respect by his captors, no
scene of any sort taking place, and none
of the prisoners heard anything of the
petticoat story until they learnbd it from
the Northern papers on their arrival at
Fortress Monroe.
It seems almost absurd to combat a
canard which has no responsible author,
but is based on the reported dictum of
some privates of the Michigan cavalry,
who probably had never before seen a
gentleman's dressing-gown, and might
very easily have mistaken it for a lady's
dress. Yet as a matter of history, Pnd
since the story has made so much noise,
it may deserve this much notice. It is to
be hoped that the press of the country
will have sufficient , generosity to ac•
knowledge their error and retract the
calumnies they have aided to disseminate
concerning a fallen:foe.
The authorities for the statements in
this note are Col. Lubbock, ex-Governor
of Texas, and Col. Johnston, son of Gen.
Albert Sidney Johnston, aides-de-camp to
Mr. Davis, and captured at the same time
with him. Both are gentlemen of unim
peachable honor and veracity, whose tes
timony no candid marl can hesitate to
accept in opposition to the vague rumors
afloat about this matter, They cannot
tell their own story, therefore I speak for
them, they being now, unless very lately
removed, prisoners at Fort Delaware, and
any doubts as to the facts contained in
this communication can be settled by
reference to them.
It -seems to me a good plan always' to
hear both sides before believing a stay,
especially where the accused is powerless
even to speak in his own defense, if indeed
such petty malice deserves to be dignified
by a refutation. AIIDI ALTZUAII PARTIN.
The following note from the Rev. Dr.
Fuller, of Baltimore, who accompanied
Chief Justice Chase on his recent journey
to South Girolina, confirms the above
statement :
To the Editor of the Ex miner and Chronicle :
I notice your rem-irk as to Mr. leffer
eon awls' escape. I believe from an im
partial examination of the testimony (and
I =lmpartial), that he was in bed when
Col. Pritchard's squadron surrounded the
tents ; and that he arose and dressed him
self hastily, throwing a shawl around his
shoulders, and was thus captured. I may
be mistaken, but the first stories have al
ready been stripped of mach of their lu
dicrous decorations, and "to this com
plexion" the truth will come at last. At
my request, the papers which are copying
from you here will omit' my assertion that
the account is "a fable." I am satisfied
that it is.
It is only by supposing him an imbecile
that anybody can believe he hoped to get
away in female attire, with his "military
boots on " (for so the story goes), when
he saw himself surrounded, at daylight.

How BRECKINRIDGE ESCAPED.—A Carde•
ntus correspondent announces the arrival
of Gen. Breckinridge and other Confeder
ate officers at that place, and thus de
scribes the manner, reception, and other
incidents : " The persons accompanying
Breckinridgo are Col. Wilson, ex-aid to
Jeff. Davis ; Taylor Wood, ex-commander
of the Tallahassee; Corporal Russell, two
private soldiers and a faithful negro ser
vant, who refused to abandon his master
(Breckinridee) in the hour of extremity
and peril. The refugees proceeded to the
capital, accompanied by one of our offi
cials, and will be presented to the Captain
General: They propose taking•up their
quarters at the Cuban Hotel. Gen. Breck
inridgo and Col. Wilson state that they
were within forty miles of Mr. Davis when
the latter was arrested, expecting to be
joined by him the following day. Wood
was actually with Mr. Davis at the mo
ment of his arrest, 'but succeeded in
making his escape, and joined Gen. Breck •
inridge. The•party then crossed Georgia
into Florida, descending St. Johns river in
a boat to Jupiter's Inlet, where they met
with a party of deserters from the Federal
army. From these they got a better boat,
which they dragged across the country
till they reached the sea, where they
launched their little vessel, and sailed for
the coast of Cuba, which they were fortu
nate enough to reach after three days and
nights, passed almost entirely without

matted suicide on Saturday evening last,
near - Matte% Station, in Amelia county,
where he was temporarily sojourning.
The act was a deliberate one; the deluded
man taking a musket loaded with buck
shot and placing the muzzle in his mouth,
with the aid of a stick touching the trig
ger. The first cap failed to explode, when
he replaced it with I better one, fired the
piece and was instantly killed. The upper
portion of his head was entirely blown eff.
In a diary of his was found a memoran
dum stating that he could never live
under the United States government,' and
took do ath in preferorco. In the same
memorandum he said that he would have
committed the deed on the 9th of April,
the day Leo surrendered, but was pre•
vented by the presence of visitors in his
house.
NUMI3ER 6
It is now said that Mr. Ruffin's mind
had been very perceptibly aff4ctei since
the evacuation of Richmond and the stir
render of the rebel armies. For a week
previous to terminating his life Mr. Ruffin
kept his chamber, busily employed in
writing'what subsequently turned out to
be a history of his political life. He also
wrote letters, and in one of them he :left
directions as to the disposal of his body.
Mr. Ruffin. though a politician of the
old school, never held any office of 'dis•
tinction. He was an agriculturist. 'and
wrote much on the development of Vir
ginia's resources. He was at one time,
years ago, President of the Agricultural
Society of Virginia, and published the
Farmers' Register, at Petersburg, a paper
devoted to farming interests.
How To Courr IH Cnuacn.—A young
gentleman, happening to sit at church in
a pew adjoining one in which sat a young
lady for whom he conceived a sudden and
violent passion, was desirous of entering
into a courtship on the spot; but the
place not suiting a formal declaration, the
exigency of the case suggested the follow
ing plan : He politely handed his fair
neighbor a Bible opened, with a pin stuck
in the following text: Second Epistle of
John, fifth verse: " And now I beseech
thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new
commandment unto thee, but whieh we
had from the beginning, that we love one
another." She returned it, pointing to
the second chapter of Ruth, tenth verse
—" Then she fell on hei face and bowed
herself-to the ground and said unto him,
' Why have I found grace in thine eyes,
seeing that I am a stranger?' "
, He re
turned the book, pointing to the thir
teenth verse of the Third Epistle of John
—" Having many things to write , unto
ycu, I would write with paper and ink,
but I trust to come unto you and speak
face to face, that our joy be full." From
the above interview, a marriage took
place the enbuing week.—Exchange.
WARNING TO LADIES.—A mortifying but
ludicrous incident, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, occurred on Saturday on Fourth
street, near the post office. A lady of
most expensive exterior, was gliding
gracefully up the street, when the net
works containing the bunch of hair at the
back of her head, became in some way
detached, and, shocking to relate, fell to
the ground, carrying along its hirsute
contents, whi4h we believe is known in
fashionable parlance as the " waterfall."
The lady, who immediately became con
scious of the catastropht i paused, blushed
through the powder, &c., and was in the
act of stooping to recover her headgear,
when an unmannerly dog, of the Scotch
terrier species, mistaking it probably for a
rat, pounced upon it, seized it between his
teeth, and commenced shaking the queer
looking article with a vehemence that
must have placed his own neck in danger
of dislocation. The whole proceeding was
so irresistibly comical that it excited the
merinieut of the bystanders. who indulged

A CAPTAIN Snoors A SOLD= FOR Sur•
mu A NEGRO.—The Rochester Democrat
says : " The 50th and 15th Engineers are
in Elmira, and era this reaches yon. , they
too will be paid el! and sent home. I
hear of some sad doings
,in•one of those
regiments. A captain in the 15th (the
name has escaped me) returned with a
trophy of war in the shape of a pet cun•
traband. This darkey has met with noth
ing but kindness at the hand of the Cap
tain, while the men have been treated
worse than brutes. While at Sunbury,
below Williamsport, the contraband, as
suming liberties that did not belong to
him, ordered the men about in a similar
manner as did his master, when one of
the privates gave him a blow iu the face.
The Captain, enraged that his pet should
be thus abused, drew a revolver and- shot
the man through the bowels, whereupon,
his comrades rushed in, seized him, threw
him to the earth, and kicked and beat
him to such an extent. that he died ere
the train passed from the station.
I have read articles in the daily press,
from the pens of sensation writers, of
similar occurrences, but they did not ap
pear half so horrible as this, related to me
by an eye witness.
YQUNG SAMBO's IDEAS or FRAIDOI —Ra
ther an amusing incident occurred it a
neighboring county a .few days since,
during the march of a column of United
States troops. The negroes collected on
•every farm to witness the passage of the
soldiers, and in many instances greeted
them with evident marks of pleasure.
Sitting upon a gate post, upon one of
these farms, was a sharp little darkey just
entering his teens, who, when he was told
of his freedom, clapped his hands and
shouted for joy, " Pairee, I's free I" He
exclaimed in an estasy to his mamma, " I
aint gwine to rock de cradle no More,
case I's free." Running to a younger
sister, he imparted his newly obtained in
telligence, saying : " You is free--klon't
pick up no more chips." And spying a
cat lazily stretching her limbs in the suns
shine, he reached the climax by scream
ing out, " And you's free, pussy. don't
ketch no more rats." Whether the delighted
fellow went on addressing the fowls, the
cattle, the hogs, we do not know, but the
above is related as an actual occurrence.
