Where
I did no
look in hi
hi his eye:
' I can't go to-night, Madeline; I am
not well e ough.'
' You ar never well enough, Gerald,
to oblige ne. lam tired of being put
off with sUch'excuses.' ,
He made no answer, but dropped his
head in iS hands, on the table before
him. 1
' , , come, Gerald,' I urged, petu
lantly, ; ' it is so awkward for me to g
alone always!'
He slioo his head listlessly. i
' I thought perhaps you would be wil
ling to remain At home with me, Mad
eline.' . ' .
'Men are Selfish,' I saidl - plaintively -I
'and lam dresSed. Claudia took hal ' f
an hour for mylhair. „I dare Say you'll;
be a great deal quieter without me
that is if you are determined not to go.'
No answer, again. ,
' Well, if yod choose to be sullen, I
can't, help it,' II said lightly, as I turned
and went out of the room, adjusting'
my bouquet holder, the tuberoses and
heliotropes seeming to distil incense at
every motion.
Was I heartless and cruel? Had
ceased- to love my
i lpisband? From the
bottom of my ; hert, I believe that
loved him as trtfly and tenderly as eve
wife loved a husband ; but I had been
so petted ziud spoiled all my brief, sel
fish life, that the better instincts were.
so to speak, entombed alive.
I went to the i
party, and had my fill
of adulation and homage, as usual.--1
The hours seemed to glide away, she
with roses, and winged with musican
perfume ; and it was not until, wearied
with dancing, I sought amomenttu*
refuge in the half lighted tea room,
that I heard wards awakening me, as
r it were, from a.dream:

I could not Well be mistaken in the
name; it was scarcely commonplace
i l
enough for that. They wee talking-4
two or three business-like ooking gen- 1

and then some one asked :
Is he going to do?'
What. can he do? I ant sorry, bu
he should have counted his Income or
his expenses better.'
Or hiti wife should. Oh, those wot i
men ; they are, at the bottom of all
man's troubles.!
I;rose hurriedly, my heart begging to
multuously beneath the pink azaleas,
and went back to the lighted saloon.-4
Mr. Albany Moore was waiting to clairri
my hand for the next dance.
' Are you ill, 'gm Glen ? How pale
{
you look!' 1
am very well. I wish yoti
would have my carriage called for me
Mr: Moore.'
For »ow I felt thitt home was the pro
per place for me.-
Hurried by some unaccountable im
pulse, I sprang, out the moment the earl
riage wheels touched the curbstone
ani rushed up to' my husband's room]
l
The door was locked, but I could see a
light shining faintly under the threshi,
old. I knocked wildly and persist?
ently.
Something I fell upon The marble
hearthstone within, making a' metalic
clink, and my husband opened the doo
a little way. I had never seen hinflook

' I would have"escaped!' he cried,

Well, the March Winds had howled
themselves away into their mountain
fastnesses; the brilliant kirll rain
drops were dried on 'bough and spray ;
and now the apple blossoms were toss
ing 'their fragment billoWs of pinky
bloom in the• deep blue air of latter
May.
Where are we now ?
It-was a picturesque little villa, not
far out of Pittsburg, furnished • very
like a magnificent baby house.; Gerald
sat in a: cushioned easy chair in the
garden; just where he could glance
through the open window at me, work
ing busily with my needle.
What an industrious fairy it is,' Ihe
said, smiling sadly.
Well, you see I like it. It is a great
deal better than those sonatas on the
piano.' °
'Who would have thought you would
make so notable a housekeeper?'
I laughed gleefully; I had a child's
delight in being praised.
Are you going to Mrs. Delane's cro
quet party?' he asked.
'No ; what do I care for croquet par
ties? I'm going to finish your shirts,
and you'll read aloud to me.'

several heavy bills, besides settling half
a year's rent here.'
'But, Madeline, you were so proud of
your diamonds,'
. I was once ; but now they would be
the bitterest reproach my eyes could
meet. Oh, Gerald, had I been (less
vain, anti Jhoughtless, and extrava
gant—', _
I checked myself, and a robin, sing
ing in the perfumed blossoms of an ap
ple tree, took up the dropping current
of sound.
That's right, little redbreast,' said
my husband, half-Jokingly, talk., her
down. She has forgotten that our Past
is dead and gone, and that we have
turned over a new page in the bookof
existence. Madeline, do you know
how I feel, sometimes, when I look at
you ?'
`No.'
Well, I feel like a widower who has
married again.'
My ,heart gave-one little superstitious
jump.
' Like a widower who has Married
again, Gerald?'
' Yes ; I can remember my first j iwife
—a brilliant, thoughtless child, with

I was kneeling at his side, now, With

looked into his.
And 'which do you, love best,

II think the trials and
thiough which we have passed,'

Eclipse of the Sun in December, 870.
Astronomers in all parts of the world
are now busy in making their prePara
tions fur observing the eclipse o the
sun in December 21-22, 1870., A tho'
it will not be visible in the U. States,
it has been suggested that scimo of . the
American observers of the last eclipse
be sent abroad for the purpose of taking
part in the observations of the one in
question, and Congress has already ap
propriated $29,000 to the Coast' Survey
for that purpose. Great praise• was
awarded by foreign physicists t 1 the
( 1
American astronomers for the excel
knee of their work, and especially for
the remarkable photographic Ipictures
that were taken, and at so many points.
And It is urged that these same gentle
men, or a selection from them., would
be admirably fitted for a renewed in
vestigation of the kind, since theiri ex
perience of the first phenomenon wo'ld
enlble them to utilize their nine to bet
ter advantage during the second. !Ac
cording to a recent writer, this eclipse
will begin in the North Atlantic'Ocean;
the line of central 'and, total eclipse,
moving in a southeasterly direction,
crosses Portugal a little to the south of
Lisbon ; passing over part of Spain and
the Mediterranean Sea, it -enters 'Afri
ca•near Oran, and w3on afterward at
tains its extreme southern limit ; the
shadow of the moon now moving in a
northeasterly direction, leaves Africa,
and, crossing the island of Sicily, the
south of Turkey, the Black Sea and the
Sea of Azof, disappears; the penumbra
of the moon decreasing rapidly, 10,ves
the earth with the setting sun in Ara
bia. The s?rn will be centrally and to
tally eclipsed at noon, kh lat. 36 deg.
33 liain.inorth, long. 5 deg.'l min. west,
a little - to the northeast or 'Gibraltar.—

A. N , and w re kindly welcomed
manager arid' President, Dr. Thol
under whose supervision the inter
lege' has been much promoted, an.
endeavoring to resuscitate it fr.
multi. After the registration of nn
denbes of the delegates, about fi 1
we visited, on mese, under the eh
dance of the superintendent of th,
tal farm," the farm set apart for t•
riMents in agriculture. It consists
divided off in small sections, .
marked on plots and chart, and e
treated in tillage end cultivation,
planted with different seeds. T

;Coils was still standing; and am' ngst themany
ditferent sections, as to, kind. a.d cultivation,
nene.presented a very marked app aranee of su
periority. Passing, on our return to the college
building, through 'the grounds Hotted to the'
cultivation of potatoes, it appear.d to me, and
_I could not help remarking to the delegates with
no, that it seemed they were maki gexperinients
f
especially with the view to demon•trate that po
tatoes will grow, ey,en when surro nded and en—
tirely overtopped by rank grass an. weeds, which
I .
lied to be mowed with the scythe dere digging ;•
but from the results, apparent by ,he little heaps
Of small potatoes, just dug, I onld conclude
that the managers will probably i future pursue
the good old way, and keep theta lean of weeds.
The reason given for the apparent want of prop
er enittvation Of potatoes, and, in a little less de
gree, of corn, was Inc wane at a num, ft, t „,,, t„..
to do the work. According to the regultitions of
the College, each student is rcqUircd to perform
two hours of manual labor per day on the'fartn,
under the insyuctionaind superintendence of the
'President, and the number of students was very
limited during the suMmer months. (They com
menced the fall terni.with 40.)
Ac we are approaching, on our return, the col
lege building, I may as well give you a short de
scription of it. The college stands on ebeatiti
ful rising ground, tend has a very imposing ap•
pearance. It is orie l of the largest. buildings in
the State, built of limestone; %Ail is very abun
dant in Center county, is five FlOriCS high; with
'1
projection of wings a 1 center, and has in'.front
ovet 150 large windo vs,' which II give some
idea of its great size,jl the absent of a correct
description of its dim esions, about which I neg
lected to inquire. The center of the building is
crowned with a dome, from which we enjoyed the
most magnificent view of the surrounding coun
try: Nittaney valley toward the east ;.and south
east, the beautiful and rich Pennsylvania valley
was stretched before_ms, with its rich farms, and
the villages of Iloalsbuig and Pinegrove nestled
in its bosom.

After-feasting our eyes with the beauty of na
ture, snrronnding us on all sides, the ringing 'of
the large bell in thO dome celled us bit'dinner, and
vie reluctantly descended to the ground* floor,
throughtnork and gloomy stairways, which re
minded me of ti passage through a tunnel. Even
the halls leading through the whole length of the
buildings are'poorly lighted, which great defects
elieited a general conclempatien of the architect
who designed the building. After landing safely
at the ball, after our passage through this dark
labyrinth, we were ushered into the largo dining
ball, whore a sumptu'eus dinner was prepared for
the officers, tru,tees and delegates, which was
well relished, and effaced from our memory the
bail itnpreision made by our wanderino in the
dark. After dinner, the election of Trustees took
place, in,,the lecture room of the college, F. Jor
dan, Secretary of the Commonwealth, presiding,
and tho three Trusts whose term bad expired
were NI-elected.
During the session of the convention, ;gleaned
froM the speeches and_ explanations made in the
same; the following facts, which may prove in
teresting, as relating to the past, present and fu
ture of the college. The institution was organ
ized about the year 1355, and an appropriation
of $50,000 made by the Legislature, for the erec
tion of the building, 200 nerd of land havirig
been dontted by Gen. Irvin Or a' farin of the'
college. In the erection of thp college, calcula.
lions were made for 400 students, which may
properly be called Error No. 1. Thd Trustees
afterward added by purchase 200 acres more,
which it now termed lf,rror No. 2. And after the
full completion of the_ buildings and the expen
diture of the $50,000 appropriated by the State,
the institution was SSO,OOO in debt; which debt,
by, act of Assembly; was fonded'in bonds bear
ing 7 per cent, interest. Tile numbek of students
never came uti to one-half of the Capacity of the
college, and the faculty prevailed ripn the man-,
aging Trustees to commit Error No.' , to increase
said faculty to 27, professors ,nncl t.achers, and
to change the farm school into a firs class lite
rary and scientifie'university.iinder he mistaken
expectatiorethat by this change th number of
students would he very much increa ed, and the
financial interest of the college pron oted. These
