After living-with her in-the most un interrupted parmony for five years, du ring_ which time two daughters were added to the family,-he suddenly re solved to resuin his occupation, , which lie livid tellnquiafied on his marriage, and when his yOUngestehild Was 'but three-weeks - old,-he sailed for they West Indies.- ' His wife,-;who. was devotedly attached to him, sorrowed deeply in his absence, and found her only comfort in tli - e - so - cfctrof - lferehlldren, andthe hope of bit retern. --Bet Month-after -mouth passed aWay, and lit.'ectbic nut, nor did aut. letters, those_ insufficient but ever welcome substitutes, arrive to cheer her bitter solitute.

Her sorrow was deep and heartfelt, but the evils of poverty were now added to her, affiidtions, and the 'Widow found lierself.obliged to resort tosomeempley7 meritin. order to support her- children. Her needle was the only resource, and for ten years she labored early and late for the miserable pittance which is ever so, grudgingly bestowed on an humble Oarnstress. - ; ., --- A' merchant; in New York, in mede :±ata,but prosperous circumstances, ac hidentally became acquainted.with her, and, pleased, with her gentle manners, neleas that - hccr:beatrty, be improved their=uctintance into friendship. • oriths-heoffered hishand . , and wastiecePterl...

Contrary to our expectations, howev er, Burr made no attempt to confute his opponent's eloquent oratory. He mere ly opened a book of statutes, and poin ting,-with his thin fingers, to one of the pages, desired the referees to read it, while he retired a moment, forthe prin cipal witness. We had . scarcely finished reading the section which fully decided the matter in our minds, when Burr re-entered with a tall and elegant female underhis arm.' - She was attired in a simple white dress with a wreath of ivy leaves en circling her large straw bonnet, and a lace veil completely concealing her countenance. Burr whispered a few -words, apparently encouraging her to advance, and then gracefully raised her veil, discovering to us a face of proud, surpassing beauty. I recollect as well as if it happened yesterday, how simul taneous the murmuiofadmirationburst from the Ups of all present. Turning to the- plaintiff, Mr. Burr asked iu a cold, quiet tone: D _ "o you know this lady 2" - • "Will you swearto that?" - "I will, to the best of my knowledge and belief she is my daughter." _ '"Can you swear to the identity?" '.`tcau." :"Wliat iS her a,,, ,, e?" ' "She is thirty Years old on the 80th day of-April." - - '!When did you last.see her ?" • "At her own house,, about a fortnight since." "When did you see her previous to that meeting?" ' The plaintiff hesitated—a long pause ensued—the question wasrepeated, and the answer at length was— When she was just a child. "When she wasjustthreeweeks old," ridded Burr. "Gentlemen," continued he, turning to us, "I have brought this lady. here as an important witness, and such I think she is.

Who will picture the slow process of heart sickening, the wasting anguish of hope deferred, and finally the overwhelming agony which came upon her when her last hope was extinguished, and she was-compelled to helleve,herself a widosd ? Who can de pict all this without awakening in your hearts - the warmest sympathy for the deserted wife, and the utterest scorn for the mean, vile wretch, who could thus trample on the heart of her whom he swore to loveand cherish ? We need net inquire into his motive for acting so base - a part. - Whether it was love of gain, or licentiousness, or selfish indiff erence, it matters not ; he is too vile a thing to be judged by such laws as gov ern men.

Turning to the lady, in a tone whose sweetness was a strange contrast with the scornful accent - which characterized his words, he besought her to relate brief ly the recollections of her early life. A kroud flush ,passed over her beautiful nice as she replied : • "My first recollections are of a small, 111-furnished apartment, 'which my sis ter and-myself shared with my mother. She used to carry out every Sunday the work which had occupied her during the week, and bring back employment for the following.

Weary and way-worn, I rode down from a bare mountain ridge into the wild and beautiful valleyof Hebron, and dismounted beside a little fountain, under the "shadow of a great rock." A group of some fifteen or twenty shep herds were there, too, resting during the heat of the day, and theirflocks, amount ing to several thousand sheep and goats, filled nearly the whole of the valley.— At first I was greatly annoyed by the too near approach of both men and ani mals ; but when the time came to lead the flocks away to pasture again, I watched their motions with intense in terest. The shepherds arose, went into the middle of the dense mass of animals, and then separating, walked away slow ly in different directions. As they went, each kept uttering apecnliar cry or call. The sheep heard, and they, too, began to separate one from the other. I ob served the whole mass was agitated as if the sheep and goats had been driven thither by some unseen power. Grad ually they form a series of dense, mo ving columns, following in the footsteps of the shepherds, and drawn after them by their voices. I also observed that while each shepherd wound his way through the united flocks, some of the animals fled at his approach, frightened at his voice, and others hastened toward him, "for they knew his voice." In a short time they were led off, and not fountain was completely deserted; not a sheep or goat ventured to lag behind. Then the calls of the shepherds were heard echoing from rock and cliff, now dying away in the distance ; while the flocks were seen, obedient to - the calls, following in long, distinct streams the guides whom they alone knew and trust. As I sat there gazing with min gled wonder and pleasure on that strange and instructive scene, I noticed another beautiful scripture illustration. One shepherd led his flock, by a zigzag path, up the almost perpendicular bank of the glen. Behind it two young lambs trotted along at the feetof their mother. fl rst they frisked and jumped lightly from stone to stone, but soon they be gan to fall-behind. -The poor little things cried piteously when the path became steeper and the rocks higher, and the flocks more and more distant: The mother cried, too, running back and forth—now lingering behind, now hastening on before, as if to wile them upward. It was in vain. The ascent was too much for their limbs. They stopped trembling on the shelving cliff, and cried; the mother stopped and cried by their side. I thought they certainly would be lost ; and I saw the great ea gles that soared in circles round the cliffs far overhead, sweeping lower and lower as if about to pounce upon their prey. But no! The plaintive cries of distress had already reached the ears of the good shepherd. Mounting a rock, he looked down and saw the helpless little ones. A minute and he was stand ing by them; then, taking them up in his arms, he put them one on each side, in his bosom, in the ample folds - of his coat, which was bound round the waste with a girdle. - The lambs made no attempt to ruu Away from him. They seemed to know what he was going to do when he lifted them in his arms; and the little crea tures lay there with their beads out as contentedly as an infant in its mother's bosom, while the shepherd scaled the dizzy bights again, and took his place at the head of the flock. It may be ea sily imagined with what deep Interest I have ever since read the beautiful words of Isaiah—" He shall feed His flocks like a shepherd. He shall gather the lambs with His arm and carry them In His bosom." Bill Simpson's Legal Experience Many years ago the Legislature of Tennessee passed an act to organize the county of McNairy. At that time the county embraced in thelimits of Snake, was occupied by a sturdy set of back woodsmen, totally unacquainted with courts, jails, etc.' The country assem bled at the appointed site for the pur pose of cutting logs, making boards, etc. The only theme of daily conversation, when the men were assembled, was the court. None of them had seen a court in session, as yet developed. Each one would give what his idea of acourt was. None, however, were entirely satis factory until Bill Simpson was called on to give his ideas. ' He said he knew all about a court—that he had a lawsuit in North Carolina. One of his neighbors' hogs kept coming when he fed his hogs until it got fat. One morning he got so all-fired mad that ha shot the hog._ He thought it would not do to throw it away, so he cleaned and salted it. Short ly atter, his neighbor and a man came to his house, examined thesmoke-house, and took him to town and put him in a little office. About three months after that, this man came and took -him td a large room. A large man! .sat upon a high bench—a man was sitting_ at a ,desk—about a dozen fine dressed men 'set in a place around. The man put me in'h pen-just behind them. Ha then called in, twelye, Men ; they took seats in a box in front of the line _dressed" ' The man that was wri ting gave the twelve -men a book and said something about Bill Simpson and the State. Then one of the 'fine men .read something about Bill Simpson and the hog, and' be-and another of the line :dressed men had the biggest quarrel you ever heard. I thought they would fight every minute, but they didn't. It was Bill Simpson and the hog, and the hog and Bill Simpson, and, sometimes Mr.. Simpson, but, devilish seldom. After they had quit quatrelling,"the big - man talked awhile to the twelve men, 'and they went out and staid a shorttime and carne back and: said something .to .the man at the desk. The Man on the bench said something* to the man that put me in the office, and he took me out and tied me to a .persimmon tree and commenced fighting me with a cowhide; I and it made me - so all-fired mad that'l shook all thepersimmons off tile tree. Not many years ago, in answer to the'l call of a country parish in Virginia, there appeared ayoung clergyman whose sole earthly possessions consisted of two black trunks and a horse, whoseill-kept condition-gained for him the sobriquet of Buzzard. The person,- however, be ing a .man of fine address and bril liantparts, soon made for himselffriends, -and, it may be, excited the envy ofsome, by securing the affections of a lovely young widow, whose great wealth v. as more than an offset for his poverty. The time for the wedding came. The ceremony had proceeded to the point where the groom, in_presence of the company, most solemnly declares to the bride,— "With all my worldly goods I the - e endow," When his gravity, and that of the guests, was completely upset by a wag just behind him exclaiming,— "There goes Buzzard and the two black trunks!".

A Thrilling Adventure In the great and bloody war it would have been hard to tind a more brave and daring soldier than the young and fear less Harry Kilos: When the President first called for troops to defend the Union he enlisted in a Michigan regiment, and the year 1882 found him serving his country in the capacity of a spy. Many were the bold and daring acts which he perform ed, until his name became a terror to those rebels in that part of the field in which he served. But one bright day, when he was making a raid into the country far south of the Unimi lines. he accidentally found himself in the hands of a small band of ruthless guer rillas. . The guerrillas had camped by a small stream in a little, old, but strongly built hut; and our spy was confined in a small, dark, tight closet, and allowed the freedom of his limbs. Harry Kilos, reflecting upon his situation, he knew that a reward had been offered for him self by a guerrilla colon'el, and that was the only reason that he had not been instantly butchered. He knew, too, that a worse fate was in store for him than simple shooting through the head, and he resolved to make every effort for escape that lay in his power. Examination proved to him that the walls of his cell were strong and tight, so that no egress could be made through them. Then he examined the floor; it was of solid plank, fastened to the sleep ers by spikes and wooden pins. "Ha!" suddenly exclaimed Harry, in a low -tone, as he came unon one short plank which was loose. In a mo ment he had raised it, and with a silent congratulation, he proceeded to make his exit down through the floor., The floor of the house was about a foot from the ground, and as the young adventurer replaced the plank, ho felt the spirits rise within _him. The house was full of guerrillas, andhe could hear them carousing over his head. A few were keeping guard outside, but he felt sure he could slip by these as soon as it could become dark. Dark ness was not far otc, and the only dan ger he apprehended was that the guer rillas would look into his vacant Satisfaction, however, settled upon his mind as he saw the shadows of night gathering and thickening, and as the carousing over head began to lose its loud and boisterous tone, he crept slow ly out from under the house, and pushed through the thick bushes until he reached the edge of the river, over which he would be obliged to swim. At that moment a loud cry, uttered by the guerrilas, reached his ear, and he knew that his absence had been discov ered. He heard the tramp of many- feet, and yells, curses and oaths reached Ins ears. They were on Ida track, and delay wag death. Acting upon this thought he plunged silently into the river, and swam for the opposite shore with firm and rapid strokes. The guerrillas heard his movement" and he saw to his horror, that four armed villains had started in pursuit. in a small boat, while the report of a revolver broke upon the air, and the splash of a ball spattered the water into his face. Knowing that he could not reach the opposite shore ahead of the pursuers, he slackened his pace, and In a moment the boat was not ten feet off. "Surrender, you d-d Yank !'' yelled the fellow who stood In the bow of the little boat. Our spy dove deep and came up Deal ly under the stern of the craft, and ex erting all his strength, directed with such skill as was only his, he capsized the boat, and then, with a loud laugh, be struck out for the shore. He was a strong swimmer, but oue of the largest of the guerrillas gained on him in spite of all he could do. 11 ., 2 dreaded the embrace with the muscular ruffian, but it was ineviMble—the huge fellow was already upon him, and it was fight or die. The two men grappled and the watQ , foamed around them. Harry had never met his match in physical strength, and the burly auvr rilla was as a child in his bands. He soon held him firm in a position which rendered him helpless, and seiz ing the ruffian's throat, he choked him till he was insensible, ,'and then let him sink to the bottom. It was necessary to do this act in or der to save his own life; and now that he had got rid of his worst antagonist he reached the northern shore; and waving his hand, he uttered a yell of triumph, and disappeared in the dark• ness, leaving his enemy to-curse and swear with chagrin and malice. nea7 Shoes for the Ladies. .

On his way up from the depot he en tered a saloon on Randolph street to .'et a glass of ale. Seated at a table there were three men,playing cut-throat euchre.

His part n..,r—a Mr. Smith—showed his hand and had only threes and twos, so Mr. Williams won. Naturally, he felt elated. He had won $2 of a city fellow.
